turgor pressure, also turgidity, is the main pressure exerted by cell contents against the cell walls in plant cells
If there is no net diffusion between the solution and the cell, the turgor pressure inside the cell must equal the osmotic pressure of the surrounding solution. This balance prevents water from moving in or out of the cell, maintaining cell stability. Essentially, the forces exerted by the cell's internal pressure and the external osmotic pressure are in equilibrium.
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.
Turgor pressure is caused by the entry of water into a plant cell's central vacuole, creating internal pressure against the cell wall. This pressure is maintained by the osmotic movement of water into the cell, driven by the concentration gradient between the cell's interior and the surrounding environment.
In a hypotonic solution, the concentration of solutes outside the animal cell is lower than that inside the cell. This causes water to flow into the cell through osmosis, leading to an increase in internal pressure. As a result, the cell may swell and can eventually burst, a process known as lysis, due to the inability of the animal cell to withstand the excess internal pressure.
The internal water pressure in plants is countered by the cell wall. This is called turgor pressure.

In bacteria, fungi, and plants, the high internal pressure generated by osmosis is counteracted by the mechanical strength of their cell walls. These cell walls provide structural support and help prevent the cells from bursting due to the osmotic pressure.

Yes, the cell wall provides structural support and helps maintain the shape of the cell, preventing it from bursting under internal pressure. It acts as a protective barrier that allows the cell to withstand changes in osmotic pressure.
