The vacuole full of a solution that pushes against the cell wall is known as a central vacuole, commonly found in plant cells. This vacuole stores a variety of substances, including water, nutrients, and waste products, and its turgor pressure helps maintain the cell's structure and rigidity. When the central vacuole is filled with water, it exerts pressure against the cell wall, contributing to the overall turgor pressure of the plant, which is essential for maintaining plant health and supporting growth.

What makes plant cells or tissue turgid?
The central vacuole in eukaryotic plant cells. The central vacuole pushes up against the cell membrane to form the structure of the plant. Without water in the central vacuole, the plant begins to wilt.
Which organelle is losing water if the plant is droopy?
In a plant cell, it would be the vacuole. Since the vacuole contains tons of water when in a plant cell, it pushes against the cell walls, stiffening the plant, making it non-droopy (this is called turgor pressure). That's why when plants are dehydrated, they tend to droop- because of their shrunken vacuoles
When water diffuses into a plant cell and builds up firm pressure that is called?
Turgor pressure. When the plant cell's central vacuole swells with water, the cell membrane pushes against the cell wall, creating this pressure that helps maintain cell shape and support the plant's structure.
Is the main pressure of the cells contents against the cell wall in plant cell?
Yes, in plant cells, the main pressure of the cell's contents is exerted against the cell wall, a phenomenon known as turgor pressure. This pressure results from the osmotic movement of water into the cell, which fills the central vacuole and pushes the cell membrane against the rigid cell wall. This turgor pressure is crucial for maintaining cell shape, supporting the plant structure, and facilitating growth.
What cell organelle makes turgor pressure in a plant cell possible describe the role of this oranelle in this process?
The nucleus is the control center of a cell as such it is the most important part of the cell. The control arises from the genetic information stored in the nucleus. Genes are made of the nucleic acid DNA. Hundreds of genes are linked together into enormous molecules called chromosomes (chromatin). Genes can be switched on or off and are indirectly responsible for making proteins which do the work of the cell.
What organelle fills whit water and pushes against the cell wall?
'In plants, it's the vacuole. Animal cells don't have vacuoles
What makes plant cells or tissue turgid?
The central vacuole in eukaryotic plant cells. The central vacuole pushes up against the cell membrane to form the structure of the plant. Without water in the central vacuole, the plant begins to wilt.
Turgor pressure is caused by water filling what two things?
Turgor pressure is caused by water filling the central vacuole and the cytoplasm in plant cells. As more water enters the vacuole, it pushes against the cell wall, creating pressure that helps maintain the cell's structure and rigidity.
If a plant cell is placed in a hypotonic solution water moves into the cell and collects in?
It probably collects in the plant cell vacuoles.
Does all plants remain rigid because of their cell walls?
The cell wall are partly why the plant cell keeps the plant rigid but it is also down to the vacuole in the middle of the plant cell which is mainly a bag of water that pushes the cytoplasm against the cell wall causing it to be rigid.
Why is it that in an animal cell the nucleus is present in a central position but it is shifted into the periphery in a plant cell?
Plant cells have a very large central vacuole while animal cells do not. That vacuole "pushes" the nucleus to the side.
Is a vacuole a single celled organism?
nope, the vacuole is the part in the middle of a plant cell which contains the cell sap, this is a weak solution of sugar and salts.
Why are the organelles in the plant cell located around the edge of the cell?
Plant cells typically have a large sac in the center of the cell called a storage vacuole. This vacuole generally has so much water in it that it pushes all the organelles to the sides.
What force pushes the cell membrane up against the cell wall?

What happens when excess water enters the plant cell?
If excess water moves into an animal cell, it will eventually burst. This happens if the cell is placed in a hypotonic solution (a solution with a lower solute concentration than the cell).
