Difference between Plasmolysis and Deplasmolysis:
| Plasmolysis | Deplasmolysis |
|---|---|
| It refers to the shrinkage of the cytoplasm and withdrawal of the plasma membrane from the cell wall caused due to the withdrawal of water when placed in a hypertonic solution. | Deplasmolysis is the recovery of a plasmolysed cell when it is placed in water, wherein the cell's protoplasm again swells up due to the re-entry of water. |
| In Plasmolysis, the cell becomes flaccid. | In Deplasmolysis, the cell becomes turgid. |
