Turgor pressure is present in:
Turgor pressure is present in:
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C Living plant cell
When the cells are placed in a hypotonic solution (higher water potential or dilute solution as compared to the cytoplasm), water diffuses into the cell causing the cytoplasm to build up a pressure against the wall, that is called turgor pressure. Generally, turgor pressure is caused by the osmotic flow of water and occurs in living plants cell, fungi, and bacteria. Turgor pressure helps in cell elongation or growth of cell, maintains the normal shape of the cell, helps in plant movement like movement of guard cells of stomata, wilting movements, and maintains 3–D structure of mitochondria, chloroplast and microbodies. So, turgor pressure is present in living plant cell.
