Q. When a cell is frilly turgid, which of the following will be zero?

AIPMTAIPMT 1997Transport in Plants

Solution:

In a frill turgid cell, DPD = O because it has T.R = O.P. It means that the cell has no further capacity to | absorb any water. Water potential is equal but opposite in | sign to D.P.D. So in a fully turgid cell the water potential | is zero.
