Question

In a flaccid cell, which condition does not occur?

• A. TP = 1
• B. SP = 0
• C. SP=OP
  
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A TP = 1

A cell is said to be flaccid when it is placed in a hypertonic solution and cell sap and moved out of it via the process of exosmosis. This causes an increase in the diffusion pressure deficit, such that the DPD becomes equal to the osmotic potential and the turgor pressure becomes zero. The turgor pressure is the pressure exerted by the tonoplast against the cell wall. It is maximum in the turgid cell and zero in the flaccid cell.

Hence, the correct answer is 'TP=1'
