wall pressure simply means an elastic stage of water absoved the cell i.e a state of no more water can be absorb by the cell, so that at this level cell is said to be turgid.

No, wall pressure and turgor pressure are not opposite to each other. Wall pressure refers to the force exerted by the cell wall of a plant cell against the protoplast, while turgor pressure is the force exerted by the vacuole against the cell wall. They both work in conjunction to maintain cell shape and provide support to the plant cell.

What is The pressure exerted against the cell membrane and cell wall known as?
hydrostatic pressure or turgor (same thing)
A plant with high is healthy and rigid?
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.
DESCRIBE turgor pressure?
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.
Why aren't animals capable of turgor pressure?
Short answer: we do not have cell walls in our cells as plants do. The cell wall is required so that the turgor pressure has something to push against. Since we do not have cell walls, this is impossible.
What is the force that causes turgor pressure?
The force that causes turgor pressure is osmosis.
Which pressur is opposite to turgor pressure?
wall pressure
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.
What is The pressure exerted against the cell membrane and cell wall known as?
hydrostatic pressure or turgor (same thing)
The pressure inside a plant cell caused by water pushing against the cell wall?
This is called turgor pressure.
How is plasmolysis related to tugor pressure?
Turgor pressure is the pressure exerted by water on the cell wall. This is what helps plants stand upright, even though they have no skeleton.
What cell controls turgor pressure?
A plant cell has a cell wall that pushes back against water pressure in the cell when the cell is in it's preferred condition of hypotonicity. This is turgor pressure.
What is the different between turgor pressure and diffusion?
The difference of turgor pressure and diffusion is that turgor pressure is an osmotic pressure exerted by the contents of a plant cell against its cell wall; while diffusion is a movement of molecules from an area higher concentration to an area lower concentration.
What large structre in a plant cell helps it main tain turgor pressure?
The cell wall. The interior pressure of water maintains turgor and keeps the plant erect.
When do plants exhibit turgor pressure?
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.
Turgor pressure is caused by water filling what two things?
Turgor pressure is caused by water filling the plasma membrane and cell wall of plants, bacteria and some fungi. It pushes the plasma membrane against the cell wall to create the pressure.
What is pressure produced by water pushing outward against the cell wall of plant cells?
Turgor pressure
A plant with high is healthy and rigid?
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.
