Do the cells of a wilted plant have turgor pressure that is too high or too low?

Because water has moved out of the vacuoles, the pressure is not enough to hold the plant's leaves erect.

Can plant cells have negative turgar pressure values?
Plant cells are not known to have negative turgor pressure values. However, there are times when plants will have low turgor pressures which may result into negative turgor pressure values.
When does loss of turgor happen?
Turgor would be lost when a plant loses water. Salt water can cause water to move out of plant cells and the plant would wilt.
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.
When water is lost from a plant why does the plant look wilted?
Excess transpiration causes the plant to lose turgor pressure, which causes the cell membrane to pull away from the plant's cell walls, making it look wilted.
The pressure that builds in a plant cell as a result of osmosis is called?
The pressure that builds in a plant cell as a result of osmosis is called turgor pressure.
How does a Wilted plant drink water?
It takes in water by osmosis. This is why a wilted plant or even a wilted stalk of celery will become firm again if given water.
When water moves into a plant cell by osmosis the internal turgor pressure developed pushes on the wall. What does this do to your understanding of a neglected house plant?
the plant didn't get enough water and has wilted. the wilting happens because there isn't enough water in the cells to produce the turgor pressure to make the cells rigid

How does water affect the appearance of a vegetable?
The amount of water in the cells of a vegetable affect the turgor pressure in the cells. The turgor pressure is how much pressure is in the cells. If the cells of the vegetable do not have enough water, the turgor pressure is low, so the plant wilts, making the vegetable look shriveled or small. If the cells of the vegetable have the right amount of water, the turgor pressure is high enough to keep the plant from wilting, so the vegetable looks healthy. If the cells of the vegetable have too much water, the turgor pressure is very high, and the cells may burst open, making the vegetable look shriveled and small.
The internal pressure of a plant cell is called what?
turgor pressure, also turgidity, is the main pressure exerted by cell contents against the cell walls in plant cells
When do plants exhibit turgor pressure?
When the vacuole of plant cells absorb too much water, it swells so big, that it squashes the cytoplasm, and begins to exert pressure on the cell wall. This pressure is known as turgor pressure.
How can you tell if a plant has a decreased turgor pressure?
A plant wilts when it has a decreased turgor pressure.
What is pressure produced by water pushing outward against the cell wall of plant cells?
Turgor pressure
