What else can I help you with?
When a plant cell such as one from a peony stemis submerged in a very hypotonic solution what is likely to occur?
The plant cell will take in water through osmosis, causing it to swell. This can lead to the cell becoming turgid and possibly bursting if the cell wall is weak.
What part of the cell membrane acts as a fluid?
Because it can have the same problems as water E.G. turgid and flaccid Turgid is the flooding of the cell membrane and flaccid is the drought of the cell membrane.
Give one feature of a cell wall which allows the cell to become turgid?
The rigid structure of the cell wall allows a plant cell to become turgid by providing structural support and preventing the cell from bursting as water enters and creates pressure against the cell wall.
What does it mean when a cell is turgid?
turgid = swollenThere is a limit to the amount of water that can enter the cell. The cell reaches this limit when the osmotic pressure attracting water into the vacuole is countered by the inward mechanical pressure exerted by the cell wall.A turgid cell is a plant cell whose vacuole contains the maximum amount of water. The water has entered by osmosis, because the vacuole is hypertonic to the solution outside the cell.Animal cells can swell so much from water that they burst, but plant cells avoid bursting thanks to their cell wall.
Which cells can be turgid and why?
Plant cells can become turgid when they absorb water and swell due to the pressure exerted by the cell wall. This pressure helps support the structure of the plant and plays a role in processes like osmosis and nutrient transport. Turgidity is important for maintaining the rigidity and shape of plant tissues.
What is the opposite of a turgid cell?
The opposite of a turgid plant cell is called a flaccid plant cell. A walled cell is flaccid in surroundings where there is no tendency for water to enter. A turgid wall is very form, while a flaccid cell wall is more limp.
Why is turgid cell has more red pigments?
is it that the turgid cell has more red pigment than plasmolyzed cell
A cell that has a strong turgor pressure called?
A cell with strong turgor pressure is referred to as turgid. Turgid cells are swollen with water and have high internal pressure due to the osmotic movement of water into the cell. This pressure helps maintain the cell's structural integrity and is important for plant rigidity and growth.
What does it mean if plant cell is turgid?
If a plant cell is turgid it is swollen, distended, congested or stiff
Differences between flacid and turgid state?
In a flaccid state, a cell or tissue is limp or lacking stiffness due to low internal pressure or lack of water content. In contrast, in a turgid state, the cell or tissue is firm and swollen due to high internal pressure or increased water content. Turgor pressure is important for maintaining cell shape and structural support in plants.

The plant cell will take in water through osmosis, causing it to swell. This can lead to the cell becoming turgid and possibly bursting if the cell wall is weak.
How will the movement of water affect a cell if it's transferred from a hypotonic solution to a hypertonic solution?
The cell will shrink in size..
What part of the cell membrane acts as a fluid?
Because it can have the same problems as water E.G. turgid and flaccid Turgid is the flooding of the cell membrane and flaccid is the drought of the cell membrane.
When more water moves out of a cell than moves in the cell will?
The cell will be very turgid and stiff.
A plant cell placed in 100 percent water will become Flaccid turgid or no change?
in pure water a cell will become turgid and water will flow in through osmosis.
What results from water pushing on the cell mambrane out to the cell wall in a plant cell?
A turgid condition that allows vascular plants to rise high enough to get leaves into good sunlit conditions. Lysis of the cell by hypotonicity is also avoided by having a cell wall in plants.
When the central vacuole in a plant cell is full the cell becomes?
Turgid. As opposed to flaccid.
