The membrane is semi-permeable. Sugar molecules are too large to diffuse through.
A plant with high turgor pressure is healthy and rigid. When turgor pressure is high, it pushes the plasma membrane into the cell wall. This causes the plant to be turgid.
Plasma Memberances envelop all plant and animal cells and all single-celled eukaryotes and prokaryotes, seperating them from more.
Thick, fleshy, white, adventitious. The roots can exert an extremely strong lateral pressure on containers.
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.
chlorophyll molecules are located in the thylakoid membrane

A plant with high turgor pressure is healthy and rigid. When turgor pressure is high, it pushes the plasma membrane into the cell wall. This causes the plant to be turgid.
When the vacuole of plant cells absorb too much water, it swells so big, that it squashes the cytoplasm, and begins to exert pressure on the cell wall. This pressure is known as turgor pressure.
A plant cell membrane lines the inside of the cell wall. The membrane allows only certain molecules into the cell depending on the size. It acts as a filter, and allows food and water to enter the cell, and gets rid of wastes and un-necessary nutrients.
It is called the cell membrane. This is in Plant and animal cells, although the plant cell has the cellulose wall as well. The cell membrane is semi permeable. Water molecules can pass easily through it through a process call osmosis (the diffusion of water molecules).
A cell membrane is in every plant and animal and it lets in water, nutrients, and food to the cell. The membrane MUST be permeable because then it wouldn't of let the in water, nutrients, and food into the cell. If the membrane was stiff, the molecules of water, nutrients, and food would not be able to fit into the cell.

All cells in all living things have cell membranes. Plants have a cell wall in addition to the cell membrane, while animal cells just have the cell membrane. That can be a source of confusion.
What does a cell membrane do in a plant cell?A cell membrane creates a barrier that is semipermeable. The barrier separates the plant's internal structure consisting of organelles from the external environment. Exchange of molecules between the two environments exists in the form of passive transport (requires no ATP) and active transport (requires the expenditure of ATP).
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.
