what is the difference between turgor and osmotic pressure?
Answers
Answer:
Osmotic pressure refers to the minimum pressure that needs to be applied on the solution to prevent the inward flow of its pure solvent across a semipermeable membrane whereas turgor pressure refers to the pressure inside the cell pushes the plasma membrane against the cell wall of the plant cell.
Answer:
Turgor pressure -
1. It is the pressure (hydrostatic) which develops in the cell due to the ostimic entry of water in it .
2. Turgor pressure maintains the shape and size of plant parts. A fully turgid cell has maximum turgor pressure.
3. It is designated as TP.
Ostimic pressure -
1. It is the actual pressure which develops in a solution if it is separated from the water of semipermeable membrane.
2. Osmotic pressure is measured by bar and it is equal to the osmotic potential having a positive value.
3. It is designated as OP.
