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.

Which pressure is absent in plasmolysed cell?

Turgor pressure is absent in plasmolysed cells. This pressure is exerted by the vacuole against the cell wall in a normal, turgid cell, but when the cell loses water and shrinks (plasmolysis), the vacuole shrinks and turgor pressure is lost.


When water diffuses into a plant cell and builds pressure?

tugor pressure


Is crenation to plasmolysis and hemolysis is to turgor pressure true or false?

False. Crenation, plasmolysis, and hemolysis are all related to osmotic processes in cells, but turgor pressure is not directly equivalent to hemolysis. Turgor pressure is the pressure exerted by the fluid inside plant cells against the cell wall, while hemolysis refers to the bursting of red blood cells.


What is plasmolysis pressure?

Plasmolysis pressure is the pressure exerted on the cell membrane when a plant cell loses water and shrinks away from the cell wall. This pressure is caused by the shrinking of the cytoplasm away from the cell wall, leading to a decrease in turgor pressure within the cell.

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.

i don't know plss help me because i need it to may lab activity the submission is tomorrow...:(


Which prokaryotes should be expected to be most strongly resistant to plasmolysis in hypertonic enviornments?

Halophiles, which are prokaryotes that thrive in high salt environments, are expected to be most strongly resistant to plasmolysis in hypertonic environments. Their ability to maintain high internal salt concentrations allows them to counteract the water loss and maintain turgor pressure, preventing plasmolysis.


The shrinking of a plant cell membrane away from the cell wall when placed in a hypertonic solution is called?

The shrinking of a plant cell membrane away from the cell wall when placed in a hypertonic solution is plasmolysis


What happens to the volume of the cytoplasm during plasmolysis?

The volume of cytoplasm reduces during plasmolysis


What is the cause of tugor pressure and its effect on plant tissue?

Turgor pressure is caused by the osmotic uptake of water into plant cells, creating internal pressure against the cell wall. This pressure helps maintain cell shape and rigidity, supporting the plant structure. Loss of turgor pressure can lead to wilting and decreased growth in plants.


Can animal cells undergo plasmolysis?

Animal cells undergo lysis, and plant cells undergo plasmolysis. Lysis occurs when a plant cell explodes due to too much pressure on the inside, and plasmolysis occurs when the vacuole of a plant cell shrinks away from the cell wall due to lack of water.
