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.
What is the normal osmotic pressure in a human cell?
280 mm Hg. albumin, globulins, fibrinogens all contribute to osmotic pressure in the cells of the human body.
What is the function of the central vacucle in the plant cell?
Stores water and chemicals and water and maintains turgor pressure to sustain the structure of the plant cell.
Starch and glycogen molecules are a means for a plant or animal cell to store what in order to keep the osmotic pressure in the cell constant?
In order to keep the osmotic pressure in the cell constant, starch and glycogen molecules are a means for a plant or animal cell to store glucose. Cells require sugar or glucose as a source of energy for many different functions.
What does a sap vacuole do?
It maintains the turgor pressure of a plant cell. It stores food for the cell.
What does the vacuole do in the cell of a plant?
It maintains the osmotic potential of the cell
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.
Which organelle provides a barrier and maintains the rigidty of the plant cell?
cell membrane
Which organelle provides a barrier and maintains the rigidity of the plants cell?
Cell Wall
Which organelle provides a barrier and maintains the rigidity of the plant cells?
Cell Wall
What is the general function of the cental vacuole?
The central vacuole of the cell maintains osmotic potential of that cell by osmosis and stores essential minerals in it for cell metabolism.
When water leaves a plant cell the osmotic pressure will increase of decrease?
The osmotic pressure will decrease. The osmotic pressure is decreased because the water is leaving the cell.
What is The pressure exerted against the cell membrane and cell wall known as?
hydrostatic pressure or turgor (same thing)
What enables an organism to grow at high osmotic pressure?
cell wall
What is the normal osmotic pressure in a human cell?
280 mm Hg. albumin, globulins, fibrinogens all contribute to osmotic pressure in the cells of the human body.
What is the function of the central vacucle in the plant cell?
Stores water and chemicals and water and maintains turgor pressure to sustain the structure of the plant cell.
What is the role of NaCl in Nutrient broth?
NaCl is generally added to the nutrient media for maintaining the Osmotic pressure. Maintaining osmotic pressure is important, because, increase or decrease in the osmotic pressure leads to cell burst or death due to the effect of osmosis. So, maintaining the osmotic pressure is done by adding correct amount of NaCl.
