Protoplast Properties
Question(s): Do protoplasts respond to the osmolality of the medium? What is the effect of adding detergent to the protoplasts?
Hypotheses: Protoplasts will shrink when treated with a saline solution (hypertonic medium) and expand/explode when placed in water (hypotonic medium). Detergent will destroy the protoplast (by dissolving the membrane).
