Question

Mention any one significance of turgidity of cells.

Answer 1

Significance of turgidity of cells :

1. Turgidity is a cellular phenomenon in which cells swell as a result of absorbing a lot of fluid.
2. Turgidity facilitates extension development in cells.
3. Turgor pressure keeps a plant upright instead of flopping over on the ground.
4. Turgor control is also the process that allows a plant to bend and position the various portions of its body, similar to animal muscles.
5. This allows the plant to spread its leaves to collect sunlight, spread its petals to attract pollinators, keep its leaves off the ground to avoid being eaten by ground-dwelling animals, bend its body around in different orientations to maximize sun exposure, and hundreds of other things that are necessary for its health and survival.
