Plasmolysis is when plant cells lose water after being placed in a solution that has a higher concentration of solutes than the cell does. This is known as a hypertonic solution. This causes the protoplasm, all the material on the inside of the cell, to shrink away from the cell wall. Plasmolysis is the process where a cell's contents shrink away from the cell wall when placed in a hypertonic solution. An example is if red blood cells are placed in a strong salt solution. The process in which water moves out of the cell, and the cell membrane of a plant cell shrinks away from its cell wall, is called plasmolysis. If the external solution balances the osmotic pressure of the cytoplasm, it is said to be isotonic.
