Is Plasmolysis and Flaccidity Same?

flaccidity. In a strict definition, plasmolysis is the shrinking of the protoplasm due to exposure to hypertonic surrounding. Flaccidity is the loss of turgor due to the lack of net water movement between the plant cell and the isotonic surrounding.

What is plasmolysis also known as?

Plasmolysis is mainly known as shrinking of cell membrane in hypertonic solution and great pressure. Plasmolysis can be of two types, either concave plasmolysis or convex plasmolysis.

What is the difference between plasmolysis and Deplasmolysis?

The main difference between plasmolysis and deplasmolysis is that plasmolysis is the constriction of the protoplast as a result of the water loss caused by exosmosis whereas deplasmolysis is the swelling up of the protoplast as a result of gaining water by endosmosis.
