Best Answer

There is a large vacuole present in the middle of the cell that is full of cell sap (a solution of solutes dissolved within water ,negative water potential,) when the plant cell takes up water the water defuses into the vacuole across the concentration gradient (high concentration to low concentration of water) and the vacuole becomes turgid thus making the cell turgid.

What helps a plant cell maintain turgor pressure?

That would be the large central vacuole. In plant, not only does it contain water, it also controls turgor for when the plant receives a lot of water instead of simply lysing like in animal cells.


What large structre in a plant cell helps it main tain turgor pressure?

The cell wall. The interior pressure of water maintains turgor and keeps the plant erect.


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 oganelle helps maintain the cells shape?

Cholooplast helps to maintain the cells structure.


What does turgor pressure do for plant?

Inside most plant cells is a central water vacuole. The cell uses osmotic pressure to bring water into the cell. When the water vacuoles of the plant are filled with water it is said to have high turgor pressure.


What is the meaning Turgor Pressure, and what does it do?

Here is your answers. Hope it helps.


DESCRIBE turgor pressure?

When water leaves the plant cell, for example in osmosis, the pressure (created by the water) of the protoplast pushing against the cell wall will decrease. This pressure is known as turgor pressure and decreasing it will cause the cells to become soft/flaccid and so the plant will begin to wilt more and more as the turgor pressure decreases.

An example of osmosis?

Here are 3 examples: 1.)Plasmolysis, which is caused by osmosis, causes land plants to wilt due to the lack of turgor pressure. Plants do need turgor pressure to keep them upright. 2.)Flowers open when the inner surface of their petals become more turgid than the outer surfaces. 3.)Guard cells on leaf surfaces control the stomata size using changes in turgor. P.S. Hope that helps:)
