Question

Turgor pressure becomes equal to wall pressure then

• A. Water leaves the cell
• B. No exchange of water takes place
• C. Water enter the cell
• D. Solutes goes from the cell into water

Answer 1

The correct option is B No exchange of water takes place

Turgor pressure (TP) is the pressure exerted by protoplasm on the wall and wall pressure (WP) is the pressure exerted by the wall on to the protoplasm. If TP is equal to WP it means that there is no net movement of water into the cell and cell is fully turgid.

So, the correct answer is option B.
