Best Answer

The internal water pressure in plants is countered by the cell wall. This is called turgor pressure.

Who has a vacuole and why?

Eukaryotic (ANIMAL AND PLANTS) cells have a vacuole. Plant cells have a very large vacuole and animal cells have relatively small ones.Vacuole Functions:Isolating materials that might be harmful or a threat to the cellContaining waste productsMaintaining internal hydrostatic pressure or turgor within the cellMaintaining an acidic internal pHContaining small moleculesExporting unwanted substances from the cellAllows plants to support structures such as leaves and flowers due to the pressure of the central vacuoleWikipedia

In the lungs what do you need to increase the internal pressure?

The internal pressure of the lungs is controlled by the diaphragm and the muscles of the thorax (chest). Inhalation is caused by increasing the volume (which lowers the internal pressure) while decreasing the volume (increases the internal pressure) leads to exhalation, similar to the way a bellows works. The elastic qualities of the lung also help the process of exhalation.
