Question

During plasmolysis water is lost from the ______.

Options

• Cytoplasm

• Vacuole

• Cytoplasm first and then from the vacuole

• Vacuole first and then from the cytoplasm

Answer 1

During plasmolysis water is lost from the cytoplasm first and then from the vacuole.

Explanation:

During plasmolysis, water is lost from the cytoplasm first and then from the vacuole because the cytoplasm is closer to the cell membrane and directly faces the outside hypertonic solution, so its water exits before the water from the inner vacuole is drawn out.
