Explain plasmolysis and what is isotonic,hypotonic and hypertonic |
|
Answer» If a normal plant cell is placed in a hypertonic solution , the shrinkage od protoplasm away from its cell wall takes place . This process is called plasmolysis. Hypertonic solution - When the surrounding solution possesses higher osmotic pressure than that of the cell sap.Hypotonic solution - When the surrounding solution possesses lower osmotic pressure than that of the cell sap.Isotonic solution - When the osmotic pressure of the surrounding solution and that of he cell sap is same. Plasmolysis is the process in which cells lose water in a hypertonic solution hypotonic solution is any solution that has a lower osmotic pressure than another solution Plasmolysis-contraction of the protoplast of a plant cell as a result of loss of water from the cell.Hypotonic-hypotonic solution is a water that is less-concentrated than the cell the water surrounds. Hypertonic-hypertonic solution is basically the opposite of a hypotonic solution. In this case, the water has more of a solute than the cell does. two solutions having the same osmotic pressure across a semipermeable membrane known as isotonic solution A hypertonic solution is a particular type of solution that has a greater concentration of solutes on the outside of a cell when compared with the inside of a cell. |
