Answer:

Plasmolysis

Explanation:

In the image 1 the cell is having sufficient quantity of water leading to a turgid cell.

The image 1 plant cell is in a dilute solution in which water enters into cell from external medium.

The image 2 plant cell is exposed to a solution which is high concentrated solution.

Due to this high concentrated solution the water present in the cell is send out by exosmosis.

Due to loss of water from plant cells the protoplasm in plant cell shrinks in which cell membrane gets separated from cell wall.

This shrinkage of protoplasm by loss of water is called plasmolysis.
