Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Water diffuses in to the plant cell through osmosis and makes the plant cell turgid. This happens when the plant cell is placed in a hypotonic solution. NOTE: Turgid means that the cell becomes swollen (or filled with water).
Detailed explanation-2: -In turgidity, a plant cell appears swollen or distended from the turgor pressure put on the cell wall whereas in flaccidity the plant cell loses it and appears limp or flaccid.
Detailed explanation-3: -Endosmosis is when the cell is kept in hypotonic solution, water flows inside causing it to swell up.
