Question

the term used to describe the the vacuole and cytoplasm shrinkage that occurs in a plant cell placed in hypertonic solution, causing the plasma membrane to pull away from the plant cell wall. contents of the cell appear as a sac inside the rectangular cell wall. a) crenation b) brownian movement c) turgor pressure d) plasmolysis

Explanation:

Plasmolysis is the process where a plant cell in a hypertonic solution loses water, causing the vacuole and cytoplasm to shrink and the plasma membrane to pull away from the cell - wall. Crenation occurs in animal cells in hypertonic solutions. Brownian movement is the random motion of particles. Turgor pressure is the pressure exerted by the cell contents on the cell - wall in a hypotonic environment.

Answer:

d) plasmolysis
