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

In bacteria fungi and plants the high internal pressure generated by osmosis is counteracted by the mechanical strength of what?

In bacteria, fungi, and plants, the high internal pressure generated by osmosis is counteracted by the mechanical strength of their cell walls. These cell walls provide structural support and help prevent the cells from bursting due to the osmotic pressure.


Do flowering plants have an internal skeleton?

No plants have internal skeletons


Is the isotonic point of saltwater plants higher than freshwater?

Yes, the isotonic point of saltwater plants is higher than freshwater plants. Saltwater plants have adapted to live in a hypertonic environment, which means they have a higher internal osmotic pressure to balance the osmotic pressure of the surrounding saltwater.


Which organelle uses water to keep plants in their upright position?

The vacuole is the organelle that uses water to maintain turgor pressure in plant cells, which helps to keep plants upright. When the vacuole is full of water, it creates internal pressure that makes the plant cells rigid and supportive.


Is pressure internal or external?

Pressure can be both internal and external. Internal pressure refers to the force exerted by a fluid within a closed system, while external pressure can be the force exerted by a substance or object outside of the system onto the system.

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


What is a internal positive pressure aid?

A Internal Positive Pressure aid is an artificial aid for breathing used if you have problems with your muscles or lungs.


What is the cause of tugor pressure and its effect on plant tissue?

Turgor pressure is caused by the osmotic uptake of water into plant cells, creating internal pressure against the cell wall. This pressure helps maintain cell shape and rigidity, supporting the plant structure. Loss of turgor pressure can lead to wilting and decreased growth in plants.


What type of type of water pressure that keeps plants cells rigid?

Turgor pressure is the type of water pressure that keeps plant cells rigid. It is generated by the influx of water into the central vacuole of plant cells, creating internal pressure against the cell wall. This pressure helps maintain the cell's shape and structure.


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.
