PLASMOLYSED PLANT CELL

Question: Focus on the plasmolysed cell in the following figure... especially the space in between the cell wall and the cytoplasm....... What's in it?


The answer is: concentrated solution.....

Why?
Because cell wall if FULLY PERMEABLE... therefore it allows the concentrated solution to enter the cell..... so the space in between the cell wall and the cytoplasm is actually filled with the concentrated solution.....
