How does vascular tissue in nonvascular plants affect their structure and appearance?
vans of the wall
Turgor pressure occurs in what kind of solution?
Turgor pressure is usually calculated as the difference between water potential and osmotic potential. In herbaceous plants turgor pressure is almost solely responsible for maintaining an erect habit. Wilting of leaves is due to loss of turgor in the leaf.
Why cant you grow a plant with coke?
because plants need water to grow. ALTHOUGH coke has water but the osmotic pressure of coke water is very high hence its water is not available to the plant cells by osmosis.
How does the absence of vascular tissue in nonvascular plants affect their structure and appearance?
Non-vascular plants are generally thalloid, these plants seldom attain height and not able to remain erect without some support
Do plant or animal cells have a cell wall?
Plant cells. They need to stay rigid and be able to withstand osmotic pressure.
What is osmotic influx of water?
entry of water that causes turgor pressure in vacuoles of plants
Does placing plant cells in a hypotonic solution causes the osmotic pressure to increase?
When a plant cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, the osmotic pressure tends to increase as the water in the cells moves to a place elevated in solute concentration. The osmotic pressure is the chief cause of support in numerous plants.
Importance of osmotic pressure?
Secret. ^_^ Here is a simple experiment for Osmotic pressure in the blood :http://www.wisc-online.com/objects/ViewObject.aspx?ID=NUR4004 , My Bilogy teacher told me that Turgor pressure and Osmotic Pressure in plants are the same so if shes right, means osmostic pressure is the water that enters the cell and pushes against the cell wall which keeps the plant cell turgid.. Please make sure of what I said before spreading or learning.
What is the definition of osmotic potential?
What is osmotic potential?Osmotic potential is defined as the ability of a solution to suck water in if it was separated from another solution by a semi-permeable (meaning water gets through, but not the solution) membrane. This means that if you have pure water next to salt water, separated by such a membrane, the pure water would run over to the saltwater, while the water in the saltwater would stay where it is. Water, then, always moves towards a higher concentration, from high pressure to low pressure. This is also how trees get water from the roots up to the canopy, as they don't have beating heart like we do. The plants use their osmotic potential to transport water through the cells from the bottom (roots) where the osmotic pressure is high, to the top (canopy) where the osmotic pressure is low. As the water is transported up, the osmotic pressure in the roots sinks, allowing more water to run in from the soil.

What large structure in plants cell help it maintain turgor pressure?

What do contractile vacuoles in plants do?
They provide nutrients for the plants. Also help start photosynthesis.

How does turgo pressure help plants?
turgor pressure pushes the plasma membrane against the cell wall of plant, bacteria, and fungi cells as well as those protist cells which have cell walls. This pressure, turgidity, is caused by the osmotic flow of water from area of low solute concentration outside of the cell into the cell's vacuole, which has a higher solute concentration.
Does the cell wall protect against osmotic pressure?
Cells deal with Osmotic Pressure by pumping out excess water and "bathing" themselves in blood. Osmotic Pressure can cause many injuries to a cells, including the bursting of the cell. Large organisms are not in danger of bursting. Many of the cells in large organisms do not even come in contact with fresh water. Instead, the cells are bathed in isotonic fluids such as blood. These isotonic fluids have concentrations of dissolved materials equal to those in the actual cells. Other cells, like plants and bacteria, who do come in contact with fresh water, have extremely tough cell walls. The cell walls prevent the cells from expanding, even under Osmotic Pressure. However, the increased pressure makes cells vulnerable to injuries to their cell walls.
