Describe how tugor pressure is build up
Answers
Turgor pressure is the force exerted by stored water against a cell wall. As turgor pressure builds in the vacuole, it pushes out against the sides of the cell. Each cell is assembled so their cell walls are pushed together
Answer:
The difference in atmospheric pressure and the pressure applied on the cell membrane by the fluids in cytoplasm to push it outwards on the cell wall is called turgor pressure. It builds up due to the transport of water through the semi permeable membrane (cell membrane) due to the difference in the osmotic gradient across the cell membrane.
Explanation:
Turgor pressure refers to the hydrostatic pressure in cells in excess of ambient (normal) atmospheric pressure.
The build‐up and maintenance of turgor pressure requires five key components: water, solutes, a selectively permeable membrane, a wall and metabolic energy.
The best‐known example of rapid changes in cell turgor causing microscopic movements is the reversible opening and closing of stomatal pores in leaves.
