Question

If in a cell suction pressure value is 30 atm, while osmotic pressure 42 atm, then calculate the turgidity developed in form of TP in the cell.

• A. 45 atm
• B. 72 atm
• C. 12 atm
• D. 1.4 atm

Answer 1

The correct option is C 12 atm

Since Turgor Pressure (TP) = Osmotic pressure (OP) – Suction pressure (SP); Here, Osmotic pressure= 42 atm and Suction pressure=30 atm

Hence, Turgor Pressure= 42-30= 12 atm. Correct answer is C.
