Question

What happens when there is an increase in the turgor pressure in cells?

Answer 1

Turgor pressure:

1. The force within which the cell pushes the membrane of the plasma against the cell wall is called turgor pressure.
2. This pressure is regulated by osmosis.
3. It helps for the expansion of the cell wall in the process of its growth.
4. An increase in the turgor pressure leads to the expansion of cells and the extension of the pollen tubes, apical cells, and other structures of plants.
