Question

what is the relationships between osmotic pressure and turgor pressure?

Answer 1

Turgor pressure is caused by water pushing the cell membrane against the cell wall of cells that have a cell wall (plant, bacteria, fungi etc.) Osmosis moves water into or out of

A turgid cell has a high turgor pressure because the large amount of water inside of the cell pushes the membrane against the inside of the cell wall.

Answer 2

Turgor Pressure(T.P) is defined as the amount of pressure inside a cell solely due to its water content, whereas Osmotic Pressure(Pi) is defined as the pressure required to stop osmotic flow between the cell and a pure solvent when the pressure exerted by water is zero.
