What is the relationship between plant cell structure and the ability of plants to stand upright?
cell wall and turgor pressure
How is water important in the plants shape?
Water is important in the plants shape as the pressure from the water in the cells help to keep the plants shape. When a plant is devoid of water it begins to droop, this means there is no water in the cells to help keep it upright.
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 is plasmolysis related to tugor pressure?
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.
What kind of organisms can you find in a freshwater ecosystem?
Plants such as water lilys. I am currently trying to find other plants that live in freshwater but am having trouble.
Are Elodea plants freshwater or saltwater plants?

What is the relationship between plant cell structure and the ability of plants to stand upright?
cell wall and turgor pressure
What structure keeps plants upright?
vascular bundles(xylem & phloem) that are in the middle of the stem, pith.
What plants are in freshwater?
grass and other plants
What process provides support and rigidity to plants allowing plants to stand upright?
Lignin, a major component of the vascular plant cell wall, provides mechanical support for plants to stand upright and enables xylems to withstand the negative pressure generated during water transport.
Why can freshwater plants go in freshwater?
because freshwater plant are adapted to the water so it will be ok ;)
