Turgid pressure is the outward pressure that happens in a plant cell when the vacuoles and cytoplasm fill up with water. It pushes the plasma membrane against the cell wall of bacteria, plant, and fungi cells.

Turgor pressure pushes the plasma membrane against the cell wall of plant, bacteria, and fungi cells as well as those protist cells which have cell walls. This pressure, turgidity, is caused by the osmotic flow of water from area of low solute concentration outside of the cell into the cell's vacuole, which has a higher solute concentration. Healthy plant cells are turgid and plants rely on turgidity to maintain rigidity. In contrast, this phenomenon is not observed in animal cells which have no cell walls to prevent them from being burst by the flow of water into the cell and must either continually pump out water or live in an isotonic solution where there is no osmotic pressure.

It's when water fills vacuoles and cytoplasms, causing plant cells to swell up and push against the cell wall. This outward pressure is called turgor pressure. :)

What is the relationship between osmosis and turgor pressure?

Water enters into plants by Osmosis and water causes turgor pressure Tugor definition= the state of turgidity and resulting rigidity of cells (or tissues), typically due to the absorption of fluid.


Why arent animal cells capable of tugor pressure?

In a plant cell, the large central vacuole takes in the water and gives the turgor pressure in plant which allows it to stand up. The animal cells do not have this large central vacuole, and it is unable to maintain all the water and give the turgor pressure.


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 the purpose of the skeletal system in plants?

Plants don't have a skeletal system (like vertebrates); trees rely on hardwood at the centre of the plant to provide rigidity and stability to the tree. Smaller shrubs use the blocky rigidity of individual cells, cell walls and internal tugor pressure to maintain their shape.
