During plasmolysis, the cell membrane separates from the cell wall. This separation is primarily due to:
The expansion of the cell wall due to increased turgor pressure.
The shrinking of the protoplast due to water loss.
The breakdown of the cell wall by hydrolytic enzymes.
The active transport of water out of the cell.
