Which of the following occupies the space between the cell wall and the shrunken protoplast in a plasmolysed cell?

A

Isotonic solution

B

Hypotonic solution

C

Hypertonic solution

D

water

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Hypertonic solution is more concentrated as compared to standard. If a plant cell is placed in highly concentrated salt or sugar solution (hypertonoic solution), water from the cell sap flows out due to exosmosis through the plasma membrane outside the cell Loss of water from the cell sap caues contraction or shrinkage of porptoplast. this is referred to as plasmolysis Hypertonic solution occupies the space between the cell wall and shrunken protoplast in a plasmolysed cell.
