When a plant cell is placed in a highly concentrated salt solution, the vacuole shrinks and the cell membrane pulls away from the cell wall. This process is called:

  1. Turgor
  2. Lysis
  3. Plasmolysis
  4. Osmosis

📝 Detailed explanation

Plasmolysis occurs when water leaves the cell by osmosis, causing the protoplast to shrink away from the rigid cell wall.
