A normal plant cell holds water in the vacuole of the cell. This large organelle also gives the cell support. Suppose a plant is submerged in salt water. As a result, the vacuoles collapse and the leaves wilt. This condition is called plasmolysis. Which explanation do you think best describes what happens to the cells of that plant during plasmolysis?

Just use the theory of osmosis to explain how the water goes in and out.
