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.

∙ 15y agoTurgor pressure occurs in the cells of plants. This is what keeps the plants erect by each cell supporting the other cells. See the related link for more information.

What kind of solution occurs in your mouth when you eat something with salt?
hypertonic solution
What kind of mass does Stormy Weather have?
Stormy weather often occurs along the boundary between air masses or in association with a low pressure system.
Contacts lens solution is said to be what kind of solution?
Saline solution.
When the maximum amount of solid is dissolved in a solution what kind of solution is it?
A saturated solution
What kind of weather occurs in Jupiter?
Weather that occurs on Jupiter is basically the same as the weather on Earth
The pressure inside a plant cell caused by water pushing against the cell wall?
This is called turgor pressure.
What kind of solution occurs in your mouth when you eat something with salt?
hypertonic solution
When it rains what kind of pressure is in the atmosphere?
Rain most often occurs with low pressure.
What kind of solution is affected by pressure?
At higher pressure the dissolution of gases in liquids is increased.
What happens to a cell when it is placed in a medium containing distilled water?
As you know,distilled water is a kind of hypotonic solution which means it comprises more water.If you place an animal cell into an hypotonic solution,the cell swells and finally becomes burst because of not having a rigid cell wall.Nevertheless,if you place a plant cell an hypotonic solution,it can resist the osmotic pressure due to having a rigid cell wall.As,cell wall serves turgor pressure,it assists cell not to swell and burst

Contacts lens solution is said to be what kind of solution?
Saline solution.
What is crystalloid osmotic pressure?
Colloids: is a term used to collectively refer to the large molecular weight (nominally MW > 30,000) particles present in a solution. In normal plasma, the plasma proteins are the major colloids present. As the colloids are solutes they contribute to the total osmotic pressure of the solution. This component due to the colloids is typically quite a small percent of the total osmotic pressure. It is referred to as COLLOID OSMOTIC PRESSURE (or sometimes as the ONCOTIC PRESSURE).
When the maximum amount of solid is dissolved in a solution what kind of solution is it?
A saturated solution
Weak tea is an example of what kind of solution?
dilute solution
Which rock is formed from another kind of rock under great heat and pressure?
These will be metamorphic rocks:Regional metamorphosis occurs under heat and pressureThermal/contact metamorphosis occurs under heat only
Water moves out of a cell if it is placed in this kind of solution?
hypertonic solution!
