How does having flaccid cells affect a plant?
Flaccid in Botany
When a plant cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, more water leaves than enter the cell and the result is a flaccid plant cell. This process is known as plasmolysis and the cell is said to have become plasmolyzed. … The rigidity of the plant cell wall prevents the lysis of the cell during expansion.
Why does a plant with flaccid cells wilt?
The pressure created by the cell wall stops too much water entering and prevents cell lysis. If plants do not receive enough water the cells cannot remain turgid and the plant wilts.
