Deplasmolysis
As deplasmolysis is the process that a Plasmolysis reverses again. Here , water diffuses into the cell, whereby the protoplast enlarges and attaches itself again to the cell wall. This will restore the turgor as a concentration equalization has been established (the concentration of the two solutions is isotonic ). This process is only possible as long as the so-called Hecht's threads , which connect the protoplasm with the pits of the neighboring cell, have not been severed in the plasmolysis. If the threads are separated, the cell is considered dead and it can no longer be deplasmolyzed. For example, unlike animal cells, deplasmolysis helps plant cells to survive. If the cells of plants dry out to a comparatively high degree due to a lack of water, the loss of water through deplasmolysis can be compensated for if there is an adequate water supply.
