Is plasmolysis osmosis

Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a plasma membrane from a region of low solute concentration to a region of high solute concentration.

Plasmolysis is one of the results of osmosis. In other Words, osmosis causes plasmolysis to occur. In plasmolysis, cell losses water through osmosis to the surroundings solution.

The conditions that will allow playmolysis are :

(a) the cell is more hypotonic

(b) the surrounding solution is more hypertonic
