Water pressure on the cell wall is a necessary condition of cell activity. Another name of water
pressure on the cell wall is a turgor The main component of this pressure is the osmotic pressure. If the cell is functioning properly, its regulatory system does not allow the excess pressure above a certain degree of 'standard'. Such 'standards' are specific for each kind of cells.

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.
Pressure inside human body?
The air pressure inside a human body is roughly equivalent to the pressure of the atmosphere. Normal air pressure is about 13.7 pounds per square inch at sea level.
Why do ears pop?
Air pressure. As you increase altitude, air pressure decreases. The pressure within your body then attempts to equalize the pressure and the ear drum membrane is very sensitive to changes in pressure because it thin.
What happens to the pressure inside a cell that is placed in a hypertonic solution?
The pressure inside a cell that is placed in a hypertonic solution will decrease causing the cell to shrivel due to water loss
Why do they blow air in your eyes at the eye doctor?
It is to test pressure inside the eye.
Why does a difference in air pressure crush things?
A can or container can stay rigid due to equal pressure from the inside and the outside. When the atmospheric pressure from the outside increases mote than the pressure pushing out from the inside, the material gets crushed.
Inside a star the force of gravity is balanced by?
If the force of gravity crushing a star in weren't balanced, it would collapse. The outward-pushing force counteracting gravity is the energy produced in nuclear fusion, when the heat and pressure inside of stars smashes atoms together.
What Happens if a Plane Goes Higher Than it's Designed To?
As the air pressure outside the aircraft decreases, & the air pressure inside the aircraft remains the same, it remains very high inside the aircraft in comparison to the outside, so in the end, the fuselage will explode apart, because the air pressure outside is not enough to counter act it & push against the force of the air pressure inside the aircraft which is pushing outwards.
If you had a fresh egg a hard boiled egg and a hollow egg with no hole in the end. Is there any difference in the stress's they could take?
The difference is that the hard boiled egg can take more pressure. The pressure inside of the egg is pushing outwards so that when you try to crush the egg the pressure is going against you.
How do the particles inside a car tire cause pressure on the tire?
Tyre pressure is caused by the air particles inside the tyre
Why does your head not get crushed with atmospheric pressure?
Like the air inside a baloon, the fluids inside your body exert pressure. This pressure inside your body acts against atmospheric pressure. I was looking for the answer for a school assignment! Textbooks help!
When a closed tin is heated the pressure inside it increases Why does this happen?
The molecules gain energy when heated and try to move farther apart, exerting more force in their collisions and pushing harder against the inside of the tin. The gas tries to expand but its volume is limited by the tin container. Eventually, the pressure may cause the container to buckle or burst.
What causes pressure inside a balloon?
hylium (***helium) And actuality the pressure is caused by the elasticity of the balloon itself and don't forget the added pressure of our atmosphere
Why does an egg break when it drops on the floor?
That has got to do with the light shell of the egg and the pressure inside of the yolk moving downward. The pressure is then forced upwards from the floor and the shell can't cope. It has the floor pushing up and the yolk pushing down with gravity. The shell isn't made to support that kind of pressure and cracks.
Why don't your bodies collapse due to atmospheric pressure?
Aha! There is the same amount of pressure inside your body pushing out against the air pressure. This is why astronauts outside of their space lab or Shuttle need a pressure suit - to keep their bodies from exploding (there is no air, therefore no air pressure in space.)
Is the pressure inside a football is caused by the air particles inside the ball crashing into the wall of a football?
The pressure inside a football is caused by the air particles inside the ball being compressed by the addition of increasing amounts of air. The standard PSI of a professional football is 13 psi (Pounds per square inch).
How does a basketball air valve hold in the air?
Simply... the valve is a one way valve that lets in air one way but does not let air out. It it basically a hole with a flap on the inside. The flap closes when pressure is pushing out but opens when pressure is pushing in.. like when you put in the pump nozzle.
