"Turgidity" means stiffness. When plant cells absorb water, they press against their cell walls,. becoming very stiff, much like a balloon that is inflated to almost popping (if the cell wall weren't there, the cells WOULD pop). This stiffness takes the place of a plant's skeleton.

Osmosis?
Osmosis is
Is there antonyms for osmosis?
there is no antonym for osmosis.
Who founded osmosis?
No one founded osmosis. Osmosis is just the movement of water across a semipereamble membrane.
What affects osmosis?
osmosis is affected by the concentration gradient the lower the concentration gradient the faster the speed of osmosis
What transport type is osmosis?
osmosis is something with water
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.
What is Turgidity give an example?
turgidity is a matter of imbalance between matter and manner
What is turgor pressure and why is it so important?
Turgor supports plants that do not have woody stems. Plants lacking in turgor visibly wilt. The process of osmosis plays an important part in maintaining the turgidity of plant cells.Water leaves and enters the cell by osmosis. If too much water leaves the cell, for example during drought or saline conditions, then turgor is lost and the cell becomes flaccid. As turgor gives the plant rigidity, loss of turgidity results in the plant wilting
Why is the potatoes soaked in concentrated salt solution becomes flaccid?
The potatoes become flacid because the salt water drins out the moisture from the cells of the potatoes. This process is called exo-osmosis . The cells lose their turgidity and hence the potatoes become flacid :)
How do you prevent loss of turgidity in vegetables?
spit in it
Will turgidity carrot cells in salt water increase or decrease?
Turgidity will decrease in salt water because water in the carrot will flow out in order to try to equalize the high concentration of salt.
The effects of plasmolysis and turgidity on cells?
it is harmful for plants and useful for animals
What two parts controls the shape and turgidity of plant cells?
2 main parts of plant cell control the shap and turgidity of the plan cell 1st is the cytoplasm and 2nd iz the cell wall
What process is the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane?
This is the process of osmosis. The membrane allows a solvent (usually water) to move from an area with lower solute concentration to one with greater concentration.
Osmosis?
Osmosis is
What are the Contributions of vacuoles for the cell?
turgidity, stores sugars/water soluble products
What is a cell wall function?
KEEPS CELLS TURGIDITY IT ALSO PROTECTS THE CELL.
