turgid = swollen
There is a limit to the amount of water that can enter the cell. The cell reaches this limit when the osmotic pressure attracting water into the vacuole is countered by the inward mechanical pressure exerted by the cell wall.
A turgid cell is a plant cell whose vacuole contains the maximum amount of water. The water has entered by osmosis, because the vacuole is hypertonic to the solution outside the cell.
Animal cells can swell so much from water that they burst, but plant cells avoid bursting thanks to their cell wall.
What else can I help you with?
When a plant cell such as one from a peony stemis submerged in a very hypotonic solution what is likely to occur?
The plant cell will take in water through osmosis, causing it to swell. This can lead to the cell becoming turgid and possibly bursting if the cell wall is weak.
Give one feature of a cell wall which allows the cell to become turgid?
The rigid structure of the cell wall allows a plant cell to become turgid by providing structural support and preventing the cell from bursting as water enters and creates pressure against the cell wall.
The turgid condition of a cell is due to what?
The turgid condition of a cell is primarily due to the presence of water flowing into the cell through osmosis. This influx of water causes the cell to swell and become firm due to the pressure exerted by the cell wall pushing back against the expanding cell membrane.
When a cytoplasm of a plant cell is pressed against the cell wall the cell is?
When a cytoplasm of a plant cell is pressed against the cell wall, the cell is turgid. This pressure, known as turgor pressure, helps maintain the cell's shape and provides support to the plant. The presence of turgor pressure is vital for plant cells to perform functions like photosynthesis and nutrient uptake.
What will be zero in a fully turgid cell?
The water potential will be zero in a fully turgid cell because the pressure potential (turgor pressure) is equal and opposite to the solute potential, resulting in a net water potential of zero. This balance prevents further influx of water into the cell.
What does it mean if plant cell is turgid?
If a plant cell is turgid it is swollen, distended, congested or stiff
Why is turgid cell has more red pigments?
is it that the turgid cell has more red pigment than plasmolyzed cell
What does it mean if a plant cell is?
If a plant cell is turgid it is swollen, distended, congested or stiff
What is the opposite of a turgid cell?
The opposite of a turgid plant cell is called a flaccid plant cell. A walled cell is flaccid in surroundings where there is no tendency for water to enter. A turgid wall is very form, while a flaccid cell wall is more limp.
What does a Cell wall mean in a plant?
it keeps the structure of the plant cell rigid and allows it to stay turgid
When a plant cell such as one from a peony stemis submerged in a very hypotonic solution what is likely to occur?
The plant cell will take in water through osmosis, causing it to swell. This can lead to the cell becoming turgid and possibly bursting if the cell wall is weak.
A cell that has a strong turgor pressure called?
A cell with strong turgor pressure is referred to as turgid. Turgid cells are swollen with water and have high internal pressure due to the osmotic movement of water into the cell. This pressure helps maintain the cell's structural integrity and is important for plant rigidity and growth.
When more water moves out of a cell than moves in the cell will?
The cell will be very turgid and stiff.
A plant cell placed in 100 percent water will become Flaccid turgid or no change?
in pure water a cell will become turgid and water will flow in through osmosis.
When the central vacuole in a plant cell is full the cell becomes?
Turgid. As opposed to flaccid.
Are vacuoles seen in plant cell?
Yes they filled with cell sap to help keep the cell turgid
Give one feature of a cell wall which allows the cell to become turgid?
The rigid structure of the cell wall allows a plant cell to become turgid by providing structural support and preventing the cell from bursting as water enters and creates pressure against the cell wall.
