DESCRIBE turgor pressure?

When water leaves the plant cell, for example in osmosis, the pressure (created by the water) of the protoplast pushing against the cell wall will decrease. This pressure is known as turgor pressure and decreasing it will cause the cells to become soft/flaccid and so the plant will begin to wilt more and more as the turgor pressure decreases.


A plant stands up straight because of the water pressure against the?

the answer is cellular membrane


The viscous layer that provides protection and lubrication for the cell membrane is known as the?

The viscous layer that provides protection and lubrication for the cell membrane is known as the glycocalyx. It is composed of glycoproteins and polysaccharides that help in cell-cell recognition and protection against pathogens.


The weight of the air on the earths surface is?

The weight of the air on Earth's surface is approximately 14.7 pounds per square inch (psi), or 101.3 kilopascals (kPa). This pressure is due to the force exerted by the column of air above us, known as atmospheric pressure.


What is the pressure caused by the collisions of particles in a water vapor with the walls of a container?

The pressure caused by the collisions of particles in a water vapor with the walls of a container is known as vapor pressure. It represents the equilibrium pressure exerted by a vapor in thermodynamic equilibrium with its condensed phases (liquid or solid) in a closed system. At equilibrium, the rate of evaporation equals the rate of condensation, resulting in a constant pressure.

What is the difference between Osmotic and Oncotic pressure?

Osmotic pressure is the pressure exerted by water moving across a semipermeable membrane due to differences in solute concentration. Oncotic pressure, also known as colloid osmotic pressure, is the osmotic pressure exerted by proteins in the blood plasma that helps to maintain fluid balance between the blood vessels and tissues.

Blood pressure is in the?

If the blood pressure is very high, then I would recommend to see a doctor who will be able to thoroughly examine and diagnosis the possible causes of why the blood pressure is raising so high.


What force is exerted on M square if the pressure is 99500 pa?

The force exerted on a surface is calculated by multiplying the pressure by the area of the surface. If the pressure is 99500 Pa and the area of surface M square is known, you can calculate the force by multiplying the pressure by the area.


Which law states that a force exerted on a fluid will be transferred equally against the walls of that fluid's container?

This is known as Pascal's principle, which states that a change in pressure applied to an enclosed fluid will be transmitted equally in all directions. This means that a force exerted on a fluid will be distributed evenly against the walls of the container holding the fluid.


The force exerted by the weight of a column of air on a surface is called?

What is the force exerted by moving air molecules?

The force exerted by moving air molecules is known as air pressure. Air pressure is created by the collisions of air molecules with surfaces and objects in their path. It is this force that allows us to experience the sensation of wind and to measure atmospheric pressure.


What is the force exerted by a gas on its container?

The force exerted by a gas on its container is due to the collisions of gas molecules with the walls of the container. This force is known as gas pressure and is determined by the number of gas molecules in the container, their speed, and the temperature of the gas.
