Question
Mention whether the following statement is true (T) or false (F) and give explanation in support of your answer.
Plasmolysis is reverse of deplasmolysis.
Options
True
False
Solution
True.
Plasmolysis occurs due to outflow of water from the cell when placed in hypertonic solution due to which the cytoplasm shrinks away from the cell wall. On the other hand, deplasmolysis is the result of the re-entry of water into the plasmolysed cell when placed in hypotonic solution due to which the protoplasm again swells up pressing tight against the cell wall.
