What change affect the turgor pressure of a potato cell?
you can soak it in a high concentration of salt water which causes it to lose its turgor pressure ,therefore it shrinks in size by diffusional water from inside the potato moves to the salt solution)
How hypotonic hypertonic and turgor pressure are interrelated?
They all have to do with the salt to water ratio of a cell.
Does turgor pressure in a hypertonic solution increase or decrease?
more solutes = less osmotic pressure = decreased turgor pressure
When does loss of turgor happen?
Turgor would be lost when a plant loses water. Salt water can cause water to move out of plant cells and the plant would wilt.
What will happen to the cell if placed in distilled water?
The absorbed water will go to the central vacuole, giving the cell more turgor pressure.
Wilting is counteracted by?
Turgor Pressure
Animals with what condition will appear more dehydrated than they really are with the skin turgor test?
Animals with very little body fat will appear to be more dehydrated that they actually are when the skin turgor test is used.
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.
What is the force that causes turgor pressure?
The force that causes turgor pressure is osmosis.
How can you tell if a plant has a decreased turgor pressure?
A plant wilts when it has a decreased turgor pressure.
What happens to a plant cell when the turgor pressure of a cell is high?
Absorbs more water by endoosmosis
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.
