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.
Why are stomata and guard cells called turgor operated valves?
This is so because their opening and closing is determined by their turgidity.
When water moves into a plant cell by osmosis the internal turgor pressure developed pushes on the wall. What does this do to your understanding of a neglected house plant?
the plant didn't get enough water and has wilted. the wilting happens because there isn't enough water in the cells to produce the turgor pressure to make the cells rigid
Are xylem cells red or blue?
xylem cells are *~!BLUE!~* because of the presence of lignin
Why do most of the growth in your body occurs because your cells?
divide

Can plant cells have negative turgar pressure values?
Plant cells are not known to have negative turgor pressure values. However, there are times when plants will have low turgor pressures which may result into negative turgor pressure values.

This is so because their opening and closing is determined by their turgidity.
How does water affect the appearance of a vegetable?
The amount of water in the cells of a vegetable affect the turgor pressure in the cells. The turgor pressure is how much pressure is in the cells. If the cells of the vegetable do not have enough water, the turgor pressure is low, so the plant wilts, making the vegetable look shriveled or small. If the cells of the vegetable have the right amount of water, the turgor pressure is high enough to keep the plant from wilting, so the vegetable looks healthy. If the cells of the vegetable have too much water, the turgor pressure is very high, and the cells may burst open, making the vegetable look shriveled and small.
Why is turgor pressure not a characteristic of animal cells?
Animal cells do not have cell walls (as in the case of plant cells). When they absorb too much water, they will not build up turgor pressure but lyse (burst). This is because there is no cell wall to oppose water from entering the animal cell.
Importance of turgor in cells?
helps provide support for the plant
What are cells with low internal water pressure called?
Turgor
When water moves into a plant cell by osmosis the internal turgor pressure developed pushes on the wall. What does this do to your understanding of a neglected house plant?
the plant didn't get enough water and has wilted. the wilting happens because there isn't enough water in the cells to produce the turgor pressure to make the cells rigid
How does turgor pressure affects the opening and closing of stomata?
The stoma is "turgor operated valve". The opening and closing of stoma is regulated by the turgidity of guard cells. The stomata are open when the guard cells are turgid. On losing turgidity in guard cells, the stomata closes.
Importance of osmoregulation for body cells?
Please see: Turgor pressure. Thank you
Why is apple an hard fruit?
apples are hard because of the presence of "stone cells" or sclerenchyma cells
What is the type of cell division that occurs in reproductive cells and has to division?
Meiosis occurs in reproductive cells and is called reduction division because of presence of single set of chromosomes. It results in the formation of four daughter cells. Meiosis is a source of new genetic variation.
