Does turgor pressure in a hypertonic solution increase or decrease?
more solutes = less osmotic pressure = decreased turgor pressure
Wilting is counteracted by?
Turgor Pressure
What are the three types of osmosis?
1.] Isotonic - concentrationg is the same on the outside and inside [dynamic equilibrium] 2.] Hypotonic - concentration of substances lower outside the cell, water flows in, turgor pressure increases, and cell bursts 3.] Hypertonic - concentration of substances higher outside the cell, water flows out and cell shrinks
What is it called when animal cells burst?
When animal cells burst it's called lysis.
Plant cell with good turgor pressure?
Plants that have higher water concentration stores the water in the central vacuole and gives them more turgor pressure. Plants that are in watery environment might be high on turgor pressure.
What is the force that causes turgor pressure?
The force that causes turgor pressure is osmosis.
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.
How can you tell if a plant has a decreased turgor pressure?
A plant wilts when it has a decreased turgor pressure.
What is the explanation for how fluid pressure from freshwater helps plants to stand upright?
yes it cause of all the water that is in the flowers stem
If a cell with 95 percent water is placed into a solution of 10 percent salt what solution is the cell in?
If a cell containing 97% water was placed in a hypertonic solution of 10% salt and 90% water, then the cell would crenate. This occurs due to osmosis. The hypertonic solution will pull out the water which will cause the cell to shrink. It does this to reach equilibrium but equilibrium cannot be attained. The concentration of the hypertonic solution is too great for the cell or Isotonic so the permeable cell will give to the osmotic pressure being greater than turgor pressure; solute and waste will be removed from the cell causing it to shrink in size because the turgor pressure keeps the cell stable.
What is a sentence for the term turgor pressure?
When the turgor pressure is low in a plant it will start to slouch and wilt.
What is the structure associated with resisting turgor pressure?
The plasma membrane is the structure associated with resisting turgor pressure.
