Explain how turgor pressure in a guard cell helps during photosynthesis?

Turgor pressure can cause a guard cell to close or open. As the guard cells take in water, it becomes turgid, causing the guard cells to bow, causing the stoma to open. By allowing the stoma to open, gases are able to enter. This is important because since gas rises, it allows CO2 to be captured, which is an important source for photosynthesis. It also allows gas exchange; a product of photosynthesis is oxygen, which then is allowed to be released into the environment through that opening. However, this causes water to be released, which is also an important resource for the photosynthesis.
On the other hand, if the cells become flaccid, there is less pressure on the guard cells, causing the stoma to close. This allows the plant to conserve its water and carbon dioxide.

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.
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.
How does water get to the leaves in the top trees against the force of gravityname the property responsible for this and explain how it works?
Actually is by the help of the physical principle and property called "Turgor pressure.
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 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.
Explain the role of vacuole pressure in generating cell turgor in plants?

A plant stands up straight because of the water pressure against the?
the answer is cellular membrane
What is the force that causes turgor pressure?
The force that causes turgor pressure is osmosis.
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.
How can you tell if a plant has a decreased turgor pressure?
A plant wilts when it has a decreased turgor pressure.
What is a sentence for the term turgor pressure?
When the turgor pressure is low in a plant it will start to slouch and wilt.
Does turgor pressure in a hypertonic solution increase or decrease?
more solutes = less osmotic pressure = decreased turgor pressure
What is the structure associated with resisting turgor pressure?
The plasma membrane is the structure associated with resisting turgor pressure.
What is The pressure exerted against the cell membrane and cell wall known as?
hydrostatic pressure or turgor (same thing)
