Turgidity is simply when a cell (usually plant cells as they have cell walls) is hypotonic with water compared to its environment, resulting in an enlargened and more firm cell, via the water pushing out against the cell wall. The cell wall is capable of resisting this water pressure, and hence explains why plant cells can only be turgid, as well as why plants can 'stand up' to gravity - because the firm turgidity supports the weight of the plant against gravity.
A turgid organism is an organism which is turgid, however I have not heard of a single case where animalia are turgid - as cell membranes cannot resist high water pressures within a cell (and if it did, it would just separate and pull the membrane apart) so, I believe it is only possible within organisms with a cell wall.
A turgid organism refers to a living organism that is swollen or distended due to the absorption of water or fluid. This state of turgor is particularly important in plants, where it helps to maintain the rigidity of the cell walls and overall structure. Turgor pressure is crucial for plant health and functions such as support, nutrient uptake, and cell expansion.
is it that the turgid cell has more red pigment than plasmolyzed cell
Turgid plant cells mean that the organism has more than enough water, and this causes the cells to be in a hypotonic state. Plants that have enough water are generally healthier, and the turgid cells support the plant better. Furthermore, studies have shown that plant cells perform the best in a hypotonic state.
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.
When cells are turgid.
turgid
Turgid means swollen or inflated.
Turgid is a term that means strong and upright. Wilted flowers droop so they are not turgid.
is it that the turgid cell has more red pigment than plasmolyzed cell
Plant cells are the cells that can be turgid, because animal cells would burst.
If a plant cell is turgid it is swollen, distended, congested or stiff
Turgid plant cells mean that the organism has more than enough water, and this causes the cells to be in a hypotonic state. Plants that have enough water are generally healthier, and the turgid cells support the plant better. Furthermore, studies have shown that plant cells perform the best in a hypotonic state.
When a river turns turgid, it means that it is flooding. There is a lot of water than the river is overflowing. Turgid can also be used in a different sense to describe individuals as well.
tur·gid (tûrjd)adj.1. Excessively ornate or complex in style or language; grandiloquent: turgid prose.2. Swollen or distended, as from a fluid; bloated: a turgid bladder; turgid veins.
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.
If a plant is flaccid, it's weak, lax and soft. If it's turgid, it's distended or swollen, especially due to high fluid content.
in pure water a cell will become turgid and water will flow in through osmosis.
you are stupid
