what do u mean by turgor pressure?


Sachin971: When the concentration is equal, the plant cell still doesn't have enough pressure. The turgor pressure provided by osmosis in a hypotonic solution pushes outward on the plant cell wall, which is just what the plant cell needs to maintain its structure.

Turgor pressure is the force within the cell that pushes the plasma membrane against the cell wall. It is also called hydrostatic pressure, and more intricately defined as the pressure measured by a fluid, measured at a certain point within itself when at equilibrium. Generally, turgor pressure is caused by the osmotic flow of water and occurs in plants, fungi, and bacteria. The phenomenon is also observed in protists that have cell walls.  This system is not seen in animal cells, seeing how the absence of a cell wall would cause the cell to lyse when under too much pressure. The pressure exerted by the osmotic flow of water is called turgidity. It is caused by the osmotic flow of water through a selectively permeable membrane. Osmotic flow of water through a semipermeable membrane is when the water travels from an area with a low-solute concentration, to one with a higher-solute concentration. In plants, this entails the water moving from the low concentration solute outside the cell, into the cell's vacuole. HOPE IT HELPS. PLEASE BRAINLIEST.

The pressure exerted by the cell sap on the cell wall when the plant cell is in the state of turgidity is callef turgor pressure...

It is counter balanced by wall pressure...

Hope it helps u...
if yes, mark brainliest...
have a gr8 day ahead...
