Wilting is counteracted by?
Turgor Pressure
What causes a plant cell to wilt when it is not full?
A plant cell will wilt due to lack of turgor pressure in it.
What is the force that causes turgor pressure?
The force that causes turgor pressure is osmosis.
What are the mechanisms of closing over the prey for Venus Flytraps?
The Venus Flytrap uses a type of movement called a nastic movement wish is caused by a sudden stiffening in turgor pressure. Turgor pressure is pressure built up by water. That is why when a plant does not have enough water, it wilts from lack of this turgor pressure. I give credit to this knowledge to: Seventh Grade Science Class ;)
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.
How can you tell if a plant has a decreased turgor pressure?
A plant wilts when it has a decreased turgor pressure.
What is a sentence for the term turgor pressure?
When the turgor pressure is low in a plant it will start to slouch and wilt.
Does turgor pressure in a hypertonic solution increase or decrease?
more solutes = less osmotic pressure = decreased turgor pressure
What is the structure associated with resisting turgor pressure?
The plasma membrane is the structure associated with resisting turgor pressure.
What is The pressure exerted against the cell membrane and cell wall known as?
hydrostatic pressure or turgor (same thing)
The pressure that builds in a plant cell as a result of osmosis is called?
The pressure that builds in a plant cell as a result of osmosis is called turgor pressure.
Which pressur is opposite to turgor pressure?
wall pressure
