Question : Read the given statements that refer to different stages of plasmolysis. Select the correct option regarding them. (i) First stage of plasmolysis, when osmotic concentration of cell sap is just equivalent to that of external solution. (ii) Protoplast withdraws itself from corners of hte cell wall (iii) Protoplast gets detached from the cell wall and attains a spherical shape. |
|
Answer» `{:("(I)","(II)","(III)"),({:("Incipient"),("PLASMOLYSIS"):},{:("Limiting"),("Plasmolysis"):},{:("Evident"),("Plasmolysis"):}):}` The extra hypertonic external solution continues ot withdraw water from the central vacuole by exosmosis Initially the protoplast withdraws itself from the corners, This stage is known as incipient plasmolysis ,Due to continued exosmosis protoplast shrinks further and wihtdraws from the cell wall except one or a few points. It is known as evident plasmolysis. |

Question : Read the given passage and answer the questions that follows: Rhodinus, a blood-sucking bug, shows five instars before it metamorphoses into an adult.
