Q. When a cell is plasmolysed, it becomes
A) Flaccid and its TP becomes zero
B) Turgid and its becomes zero
C) Turgid and TP becomes equal to OP
D) Flaccid and DPD becomes zero
Explanation
The strinkage of the protoplast of a living cell from its cell wall due to exosmosis under the influence of a hypertonic solution is called Plasmolysis. When a cell is plasmolysed, it becomes flaccid. In a flaccid cell, turgor pressure (TP) becomes zero and DPO become equal to OP as DPO= OP- TP.
