turgid = swollen
There 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.

if you put plant cells in salt water then it will be the opposite

When a plant cell such as one from a peony stemis submerged in a very hypotonic solution what is likely to occur?
the cell will become turgid
When a cytoplasm of a plant cell is pressed against the cell wall the cell is?
turgid
The turgid condition of a cell is due to what?
you are stupid
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?
It is made of cellulose which strengthens the cell
What does it mean if plant cell is turgid?
If a plant cell is turgid it is swollen, distended, congested or stiff
Why is turgid cell has more red pigments?
is it that the turgid cell has more red pigment than plasmolyzed cell
What does it mean if a plant cell is?
If a plant cell is turgid it is swollen, distended, congested or stiff
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.
What does a Cell wall mean in a plant?
it keeps the structure of the plant cell rigid and allows it to stay turgid

A cell that has a strong turgor pressure called?
turgid
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.
