The large vacuole.
What else can I help you with?
What does osmosis do to plant and animal cells in pure water?
Plant cells have a strong rigid cell wall on the outside of the cell membrane. This stops the cell bursting when it absorbs water by osmosis. The increase in pressure makes the cell rigid. This is useful as plants do not have a skeleton. Instead the leaves and shoots can be supported by the pressure of water in their cells. If plant cells lose too much water by osmosis they become less rigid and eventually the cell membrane shrinks away from the cell wall.
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.
What is the opposite of a turgid cell?
The opposite of a turgid plant cell is called a flaccid plant cell. A walled cell is flaccid in surroundings where there is no tendency for water to enter. A turgid wall is very form, while a flaccid cell wall is more limp.
What is the firm flexible coating outside the plasma membrane?
The firm, flexible coating outside the plasma membrane is known as the cell wall. In plant cells, the cell wall is primarily composed of cellulose, providing structural support and protection. In contrast, bacterial cell walls are typically made of peptidoglycan. The cell wall plays a crucial role in maintaining cell shape and preventing excessive water uptake.
Does a plant cell hava a cell wall.?
Yes. The cell wall is firm so it holds the plant upright.
Which part of the cell makes the cell firm by taking in water?
The large vacuole.
The pressure in plant cells to make them firm?
The pressure in plant cells that makes them firm is called turgor pressure. It results from the osmotic movement of water into the cell, causing the cell to swell and exert pressure against the cell wall. Turgor pressure is important for maintaining the structural integrity and rigidity of plant cells.
Why do plants droop during a drought but become firm after a rain?
Because water makes the plants firm.
Do plant cells become firm when there is enough water?
Yes, plant cells become firm when they are fully hydrated with water. The central vacuole within the plant cell fills with water, providing turgor pressure that pushes against the cell wall, making the plant cell firm. This turgor pressure helps support the plant's structure and allows it to stand upright.
What does osmosis do to plant and animal cells in pure water?

If plant cells lose too much water by osmosis they become less rigid and eventually the cell membrane shrinks away from the cell wall.
What keeps lettuce from being wilted?
First of all...plant cells are bounded by a cell wall that can withstand the buildup water pressure. For example, lettuce is placed in a distilled water (pure water), they will be firm and crisp because water flows into the cells. As the water molecules flow into the cell, the plasma membrane begins to press against the cell wall. The bulidup of water pressure inside the cell is called turgor pressure, which causes the cell to become firm or turgid that lets it to be crisp.
What is the vacuoles role in the cell in the cell?
It contains salts, and important materials for the metabolism of the plant. (cell sap) It also controls turgor pressure on the cell wall by pushing outwards against it and makes it firm.
Why do plants have cell walls while animals do not?
Because plants do not move, they need something to keep them from flapping around. They do not have bones because they do not need to endure so much interaction with their world. They have a cell wall because it also helps them to stay more firm and stay put so that if a wind blows, one part of the plant is in the soil and the other part is at a whole new block. Also because the plant cell is full of water, that is what makes the plant "Perky". When the plant needs water, the cells releases it, and that makes the cell walls less firm. The result it that there is not as much pressure on the wall of the cell and the plant droops. As soon as you water the plant, the cells will fill up, and the plant will perk up again.
Which part of a plant cell keps the cell firm?
The cell wall, made of cellulose, keeps plant cells firm.
The turgid condition of a cell is due to what?
The turgid condition of a cell is primarily due to the presence of water flowing into the cell through osmosis. This influx of water causes the cell to swell and become firm due to the pressure exerted by the cell wall pushing back against the expanding cell membrane.
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.
What is the appearance of a plant cell when water is plentiful?
Ah, when a plant cell is well-hydrated and full of water, it looks plump and healthy, like a little happy balloon. The central vacuole inside the cell expands, pushing against the cell wall and giving the cell a firm structure. It's like the cell is smiling from the inside out, ready to soak up all the sunlight and nutrients it needs to thrive.
