By adding salt water to the Elodea cell environment, students will observe the process of plasmolysis, shrinkage of the cell contents due to water loss. However, you should not focus on terminology, but rather what happens during plasmolysis.

Purpose: The purpose of this lab experiment is to demonstrate a biological principle observed in plant cells called plasmolysis. Plasmolysis is the loss of water from the cell by osmosis, and this is evident when the cell contents pull away from the rigid cell wall as the water moves out.
