The internal pressure of a plant cell is called what?
turgor pressure, also turgidity, is the main pressure exerted by cell contents against the cell walls in plant cells
What is The pressure exerted against the cell membrane and cell wall known as?
hydrostatic pressure or turgor (same thing)
DESCRIBE turgor pressure?
When water leaves the plant cell, for example in osmosis, the pressure (created by the water) of the protoplast pushing against the cell wall will decrease. This pressure is known as turgor pressure and decreasing it will cause the cells to become soft/flaccid and so the plant will begin to wilt more and more as the turgor pressure decreases.
Why aren't animals capable of turgor pressure?
Short answer: we do not have cell walls in our cells as plants do. The cell wall is required so that the turgor pressure has something to push against. Since we do not have cell walls, this is impossible.
What cell organelle is most affected by turgor pressure?
the nucleus
The pressure that is exerted on the inside of cell walls and that is caused by the movement of water into the cell?
Osmotic pressure across the cell wall, here called Turgor Pressure.
The pressure that builds in a plant cell as a result of osmosis is called?
The pressure that builds in a plant cell as a result of osmosis is called turgor pressure.

The pressure inside a plant cell caused by water pushing against the cell wall?
This is called turgor pressure.
What is The pressure exerted against the cell membrane and cell wall known as?
hydrostatic pressure or turgor (same thing)
What cell controls turgor pressure?
A plant cell has a cell wall that pushes back against water pressure in the cell when the cell is in it's preferred condition of hypotonicity. This is turgor pressure.
What is the loss of cell pressure known as?
Turgor pressure
How is the internal pressure counter-balanced in plants?
The internal water pressure in plants is countered by the cell wall. This is called turgor pressure.
What is turgor pressure and why is it so important?
Turgor supports plants that do not have woody stems. Plants lacking in turgor visibly wilt. The process of osmosis plays an important part in maintaining the turgidity of plant cells.Water leaves and enters the cell by osmosis. If too much water leaves the cell, for example during drought or saline conditions, then turgor is lost and the cell becomes flaccid. As turgor gives the plant rigidity, loss of turgidity results in the plant wilting
What is the different between turgor pressure and diffusion?
The difference of turgor pressure and diffusion is that turgor pressure is an osmotic pressure exerted by the contents of a plant cell against its cell wall; while diffusion is a movement of molecules from an area higher concentration to an area lower concentration.

What large structre in a plant cell helps it main tain turgor pressure?
The cell wall. The interior pressure of water maintains turgor and keeps the plant erect.
