Turgidity is important in a plant cell. Which of the following options support this statement?
The correct options are
A Turgidity helps the plant to stay upright.
C Turgidity helps to open and close stomata.
D Turgidity helps to spread out the petals of the flowers.
Turgor pressure allows a plant to stay upright, rather than flopping over on the ground. Control of turgor is also the mechanism which enables a plant to bend and orient the various parts of it's body, equivalent to the muscles of animals. This enables the plant to spread its leaves to gather sunlight, spread its petals to attract pollinators, keep it's leaves up and off the ground so they won’t be eaten by ground-dwelling animals, bend it's body around in different orientations to maximize sun exposure, and hundreds of other things necessary for it's health and survival.
