Difference Between Plasmolysis and Turgidity
The main difference between plasmolysis and turgidity is that plasmolysis is the process by which cells lose water when placed in a hypertonic solution, whereas turgidity is the state of cells being swollen when placed in a hypotonic solution.
What are turgid and Plasmolysed cell?Thus, the difference between turgidity and flaccidity lies on the turgor pressure. In turgidity, a plant cell appears swollen or distended from the turgor pressure put on the cell wall whereas in flaccidity the plant cell loses it and appears limp or flaccid.
