Astudent added a solution to the plant cell shown in image 1 which resulted in the plant cell undergoing changes, as shown in image 2. what best directly explains the observed changes?

Plasmolysis

Explanation:

In the image 1 the cell is having sufficient quantity of water leading to a turgid cell.

The image 1 plant cell is in a dilute solution in which water enters into cell from external medium.

The image 2 plant cell is exposed to a solution which is high concentrated solution.

Due to this high concentrated  solution the water present in  the cell is send out by exosmosis.

Due to loss of water from plant cells the protoplasm in plant cell shrinks in which cell membrane gets separated from  cell wall.

This shrinkage of protoplasm by loss of water is called plasmolysis.

D)The solution was hypertonic to the cell and caused water to leave the plant cells central vacuole and cytoplasm.
