Question

In a turgid cell, value of which of the following is zero? (A) suction pressure (SP) (B) wall pressure (WP) (C) turgor pressure (TP) (D) osmotic pressure (OP)

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

In a turgid cell, turgor pressure (TP) is equal to WP (wall pressure) so suction pressure or DPD becomes zero i.e., no more water can come inside. It can be shown by the following equation DPD (SP) - TP - WP ∵ TP - WP (in turgid cells) ∴ DPD or SP - 0

Q. In a turgid cell, value of which of the following is zero?

suction pressure $(SP)$

wall pressure $(W P)$

turgor pressure $(TP)$

osmotic pressure $(OP)$

In a turgid cell, turgor pressure $(TP)$ is equal to $W P$ (wall pressure) so suction pressure or $D P D$ becomes zero i.e., no more water can come inside. It can be shown by the following equation
$D P D (SP) - TP - W P$
$∵ TP - W P$ (in turgid cells)
$∴ D P D$ or $SP - 0$

osmotic pressure (OP)

In a turgid cell, turgor pressure (TP) is equal to WP (wall pressure) so suction pressure or DPD becomes zero i.e., no more water can come inside. It can be shown by the following equation DPD(SP)−TP−WP ∵TP−WP (in turgid cells) ∴DPD or SP−0

suction pressure $(SP)$

wall pressure $(W P)$

turgor pressure $(TP)$

osmotic pressure $(OP)$

In a turgid cell, turgor pressure $(TP)$ is equal to $W P$ (wall pressure) so suction pressure or $D P D$ becomes zero i.e., no more water can come inside. It can be shown by the following equation
$D P D (SP) - TP - W P$
$∵ TP - W P$ (in turgid cells)
$∴ D P D$ or $SP - 0$
