A) flaccid and its TP becomes zero
B) turgid and its TP becomes zero
C) turgid and TP becomes equal to OP
D) flaccid and DPD becomes zero
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
The shrinkage of the protoplast of a living cell from its cell wall due to exosmosis under the influence of a hypertonic solution is called plasmolysis. When a cell is plasmolysed, it becomes flaccid. In a flaccid cell, its turgor pressure (TP) becomes zero and DPD becomes equal to OP as DPD = OP - TP.
