1.	Question : Mount the peel of a Rheo leaf in water on a slide and examine cells under the high power of a microscope. Put a strong solution of sugar or salt on the mounted leaf on the slide. Wait for a minute and observe under a microscope. What do we find ? Did plasmolysis occur now?
Answer» Solution :As the Rheo leaf is BOILED, the cells WITHIN it are dead. Dead cells are not ABLE to perform OSMOSIS. Therefore, such a leaf will not SHOW osmosis and hence plasmolysis will not be seen in this dead leaf peel.
