Q. If turgor pressure becomes equal to the wall pressure, then

Transport in Plants

Solution:

When water enters the cell of a plant cytoplasm and exerts an outward pressure then that pressure is called turgor pressure. Cell wall is rigid and flexible therefore exerts an equal and opposite pressure against the expanding protoplasm. Thus turgor pressure. becomes equal to the wall pressure when no exchange of water takes place and equilibrium is established.
