Differentiate between
Turgor pressure and wall pressure.

Open in App
Solution

The hydrostatic pressure developed inside the cell on the cell wall due to endosmosis is called turgor pressure. Due to turgor pressure the rigid cell wall offers resistance. This resistance, which works in a direction opposite to the turgor pressure but is equal in strength to the turgor pressure, is called wall pressure.
