Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The water pressure inside plant cell vacuoles is called ____
A
Wilting
B
Turgor Pressure
C
Geotaxi
D
Phototropism
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The water pressure inside plant cells is called turgor pressure, and it is maintained by a process called osmosis. or. Turgor pressure is the force within the cell that pushes the plasma membrane against the cell wall.

Detailed explanation-2: -In a nutshell, turgor is water pressure inside any plant cell. The fluid presses the cell membrane against the cell wall so that turgor is what makes living plant tissue rigid.

Detailed explanation-3: -Turgor pressure refers to the hydrostatic pressure in cells in excess of ambient (normal) atmospheric pressure. Turgor pressure is best known in plant cells but also occurs in walled cells of other organismal kingdoms.

Detailed explanation-4: -The difference in solute concentration between the cytoplasm and the outside of the cell membrane generates a hydrostatic pressure, also known as turgor pressure, that puts cell walls in tension (2).

Detailed explanation-5: -A plant vacuole is a large membrane-bound vesicle in the cytoplasm. The vacuole contains water, inorganic molecules, and organic molecules. It maintains turgor pressure by regulating the osmotic flow of water. It could take up or store ions, sugars, and other solutes.
