Turgor pressure occurs in what kind of solution?
Turgor pressure occurs in a hypotonic solution where the cell's cytoplasm has a higher solute concentration than the surrounding environment, causing water to flow into the cell and create pressure against the cell wall.
Why are stomata and guard cells called turgor operated valves?
Stomata and guard cells are called turgor-operated valves because their opening and closing are regulated by changes in turgor pressure within the guard cells. When the guard cells become turgid from water uptake, they bow outwards and cause the stomatal pore to open. Conversely, when the guard cells lose water and become flaccid, the pore closes.
What opens and closes because of turgor pressure?
Guard cells in plant stomata open and close due to changes in turgor pressure. When the cells accumulate water and become turgid, they bow outwards and open the stomatal pore. Conversely, when water is lost and turgor pressure decreases, the guard cells become flaccid and close the pore.
What word is used to desribe plant cells in a hypotonic solution?
In a hypotonic solution, plant cells are described as being turgid. This occurs because water enters the cells, causing them to swell and create internal pressure against the cell wall. This turgor pressure helps maintain the plant's structural integrity and keeps it upright.
A plant with high is healthy and rigid?
A plant with high turgor pressure is healthy because it means the plant cells are fully hydrated and maintaining their structural rigidity. Turgor pressure is the pressure exerted by the water inside the plant cells against the cell walls, providing support and allowing the plant to stand upright. Overall, high turgor pressure is a good sign of a healthy and well-hydrated plant.

What helps a plant cell maintain turgor pressure?
That would be the large central vacuole. In plant, not only does it contain water, it also controls turgor for when the plant receives a lot of water instead of simply lysing like in animal cells.
What are cells with low internal water pressure called?
Turgor
Do the cells of a wilted plant have turgor pressure that is too high or too low?
Because water has moved out of the vacuoles, the pressure is not enough to hold the plant's leaves erect.
How does water affect the appearance of a vegetable?
The amount of water in the cells of a vegetable affect the turgor pressure in the cells. The turgor pressure is how much pressure is in the cells. If the cells of the vegetable do not have enough water, the turgor pressure is low, so the plant wilts, making the vegetable look shriveled or small. If the cells of the vegetable have the right amount of water, the turgor pressure is high enough to keep the plant from wilting, so the vegetable looks healthy. If the cells of the vegetable have too much water, the turgor pressure is very high, and the cells may burst open, making the vegetable look shriveled and small.
Why is turgor pressure not a characteristic of animal cells?
Animal cells do not have cell walls (as in the case of plant cells). When they absorb too much water, they will not build up turgor pressure but lyse (burst). This is because there is no cell wall to oppose water from entering the animal cell.
Can plant cells have negative turgar pressure values?
Yes, plant cells can have negative turgor pressure values when there is water loss through transpiration or when the cell loses water due to osmotic gradients. This can cause the cell to plasmolyze or shrink, resulting in negative turgor pressure.
Importance of turgor in cells?
helps provide support for the plant
Using knowledge of turgor pressure explain how the plant might be revived?
To revive a wilted plant, you can water it to replenish lost turgor pressure. When a plant lacks water, its cells lose turgor pressure, causing wilting. Watering the plant will allow the cells to take up water, regain turgor pressure, and become rigid again.
A plant with high is healthy and rigid?

Turgor pressure is the pressure exerted by the water inside the plant cells against the cell walls, providing support and allowing the plant to stand upright. Overall, high turgor pressure is a good sign of a healthy and well-hydrated plant.
