Cell Plasmolysis Phenomenon Walled Cytoplasm Shrivels Plasma Membrane

Plasmolysis is a phenomenon in walled cells where the cytoplasm shrinks and the plasma membrane pulls away from the cell wall, occurring when the cell loses water to a hypertonic environment.

La plasmólisis es un fenómeno en células con pared celular en el que el citoplasma se encoge y la membrana plasmática se separa de la pared celular, ocurriendo cuando la célula pierde agua en un ambiente hipertónico.
