Question

Consider the statements (i) and (ii)
Statement (i): To counter act the increase in turgor pressure in plant cells, the cell wall produces an equal and opposite i.e., wall pressure
Statement (ii): When plant cells undergo endosmosis, they swell but do not burst

• A. Both the statements (i) and (ii) are correct and (i) is the reason for (ii)
• B. Statement (i) is correct and (ii) is wrong
• C. Statement (i) is wrong and (ii) is correct
• D. Both the statements (i) and (ii) are correct and (i) is not the reason for (ii)

Answer 1

The correct option is A Both the statements (i) and (ii) are correct and (i) is the reason for (ii)

Endosmosis leads to turgidity, but the cell does not burst due to the presence of the cell wall.
