Question

Why does a cell become turgid?

Answer 1

Turgidity:

1. At the point when water moves into a plant cell, the vacuole gets bigger, pushing the cell membrane/layer against the cell wall.
2. The power of this builds the turgor tension inside the cell making it firm or turgid.
3. The cell also gets turgid when placed inside a hypotonic solution.
4. A vacuole gets turgid inside the cell when the rate of transpiration is high and it stores a large amount of water.
5. It is also known as hydrostatic pressure.
