उत्तर
| Sr. No. | Plasmolysis | Deplasmolysis |
| 1. | In this, the protoplasm of the cell shrinks away from the cell wall. It results in the flaccid condition of the cells and the plant. | In this, the protoplasm of the cell swells up and touches the cell wall. It results in the turgid condition of the cells and the plant. |
| 2. | It is caused by exosmosis. | It is caused by endosmosis. |
| 3. | It occurs when a plant cell is placed in a hypertonic solution. | It takes place when a plasmolysed cell is kept in a hypotonic solution. |
| 4. | It results in the flaccid condition of the plant. | It results in the turgid condition of the plant. |
