What is The pressure exerted against the cell membrane and cell wall known as?
hydrostatic pressure or turgor (same thing)
What happens to the pressure inside a cell that is placed in a hypertonic solution?
The pressure inside a cell that is placed in a hypertonic solution will decrease causing the cell to shrivel due to water loss
Is the loss of water from a plant cell resulting in a drop in turgor pressure?
Guttation
How is plasmolysis related to tugor pressure?
Turgor pressure is the pressure exerted by water on the cell wall. This is what helps plants stand upright, even though they have no skeleton.
What is a short definition of an anitcyclone?
An anticyclone is a pressure cell with a high pressure center. The flow of the air associated with it is known as anticylonic.
What is the relationship between hypertonic and plasmolysis?
Collapse of a walled cell's cytoplasm due to the lack of water.Plasmolysis= contraction of the protoplast of a plant cell as a result of loss of water from the cell.plasmolysis- is the separation of plant cell cytoplasm from the cell wall as a result of water loss.cytolysis-the bursting or rupturing of cell membrane when the cell can no longer contain the excessive inflow of water (or extracellular fluid).
Why does cooking soften vegetables - Is it loss of water from the plant cell vacuoles or does the heat break down the cellulose in the cell walls?
Cooking the vegetables breaks down the cell wall and the plasma membrane. This decreases the turgor pressure of the cell and creates a soft veggie.
What is the plasomolysis in plant cells?
Placing a plant cell in a hypertonic solution can lead a cell to experience plasomolysis. Plant cells loses water in hypertonic solutions, and begin to welt due to a loss of turgor pressure. Further water will stimulate plasmolysis: pressure decreases to the point where the protoplasm of the cell peels away from the cell wall, leaving gaps between the cell wall and the membrane.
A plant stands up straight because of the water pressure against the?
the answer is cellular membrane
What cell controls turgor pressure?
A plant cell has a cell wall that pushes back against water pressure in the cell when the cell is in it's preferred condition of hypotonicity. This is turgor pressure.
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.
Does Tenex cause weight loss?
Tenex is a blood pressure medicine and has not been shown to cause weight loss. Just the opposite, it has been known to cause weight gain.
