What would be present in between plasma membrane and cell wall in a plasmolysed cell?
Options:
A . Hypertonic solution only
B . Solutes only
C . Hypertonic solution and water lost from cell gap
D . Gases
Answer: Option A : A Cell wall is completely permeable to solvent and solutes. Plasmolysis occurs when water moves out of the cell and resulting in the shrinkage of cell membrane away from the cell wall.In a plasmolysed cell external solution i.e., hypertonic solution will be present in between plasma membrane and cell wall.
