Water potential of a flaccid cell will be
Answers
Explanation:
Pressure potential refers to the positive pressure developed in a cell due to the entry of water through osmosis. In a turgid cell, the pressure potential is usually positive because water enters into the protoplast that generates turgor pressure. ... Thus, the pressure potential of a flaccid cell would be zero. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
EXPLANATION :
If plant cell happens to be bathed in hypertonic solution, it loses water through the process of exosmosis. The loss of water is first from cytoplasm and then central vacuole. As a result, the protoplast is reduced in size. This decreases turgor pressure or pressure potential (Ψ p ) and corresponding wall pressure. Solute potential becomes slightly more negative due to loss of water. The cell attains a minimum size when turgor pressure is zero/pressure potential (Ψ p ) is zero.
Therefore, Ψ
w =Ψ s +Ψ p
or Ψ
w =Ψs (as Ψ p =0)
A cell which is deficient in turgor is called flaccid.
So, the correct answer is 'Ψ w =Ψ s
SOLUTION : 'Ψ w =Ψ s So, the pressure potential of flaccid cell will be zero .
