What plasmolysis and when does it happen

Dear Student

When cell is placed in a hypertonic solution water moves out, first from cytoplasm and then from vacuole. Cell membrane shrinks away from the cell wall. This is known as 
plasmolysis.

For example: Blood cell shrinks when they are placed in the hypertonic conditions.
