The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the process by which plasmolysed cells regain turgidity and assume their original volume under the influence of a hypotonic solution, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Plasmolysis**: - Plasmolysis occurs when plant cells lose water and shrink due to being placed in a hypertonic solution (a solution with a higher solute concentration than the cell's interior). This causes the protoplasm to pull away from the cell wall. **Hint**: Remember that plasmolysis is the shrinking of the cell due to water loss. 2. **Identifying the Environment**: - When a plasmolysed cell is placed in a hypotonic solution (a solution with a lower solute concentration than the cell's interior), the concentration of water outside the cell is higher than inside. **Hint**: Hypotonic solutions have a lower concentration of solutes compared to the cell's interior. 3. **Water Movement**: - Due to osmosis, water will move from the hypotonic solution into the cell, as water moves from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration. **Hint**: Think about how water moves to balance concentrations on either side of a membrane. 4. **Regaining Turgidity**: - As water enters the cell, the cell swells and regains its turgidity, which is the state of being firm and swollen due to water pressure against the cell wall. **Hint**: Turgidity is essential for plant cells to maintain structure and support. 5. **Naming the Process**: - The process of a plasmolysed cell regaining turgidity after being placed in a hypotonic solution is specifically called "deplasmolysis." **Hint**: The prefix "de-" indicates a reversal of the plasmolysis process. ### Final Answer: The process by which plasmolysed cells regain turgidity and assume their original volume under the influence of a hypotonic solution is called **deplasmolysis** (Option B).
