Question

State whether the following statements are true or false .
In a fully turgid cell, the wall pressure would be zero.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

In a fully turgid cell, water diffuses into the cell causing the cytoplasm to build up pressure against the wall. This pressure is called turgor pressure.

Wall pressure is the pressure exerted on the contents of a plant cell by the cell wall that in equal in force and opposite in direction to turgor pressure.

Therefore the wall pressure in a fully turgid cell will be maximum.

So, the given statement is false.
