a) |
Entry of water into the cell |
b) |
The cells bursting out |

c) |
Diffusion of NaCl into the cell |
d) |
Exit of water from the cell |

(d) When a leaf peeling of Tradescantia is kept in a medium having 10% NaCl solution, the cells shrink in size, this is followed by separation of protoplast from cell wall due to exosmosis. This phenomenon is called plasmolysis. |
