Question:
Shrinkage of protoplast due to diffusion of water from the cell into the surroundings.
Shrinkage of protoplast due to diffusion of water from the cell into the surroundings.
Show Hint
Plasmolysis = cell shrinkage; Imbibition = absorption; Osmosis = water diffusion through membrane.

- Plasmolysis
- Guttation
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Plasmolysis is the process in which cells lose water in a hypertonic solution, leading to shrinkage of the protoplast.
