Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Explanation: 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: -The condition wherein the cell is turgid or swollen is called turgidity. Turgor pressure is key to the plant’s vital processes. It makes the plant cell stiff and rigid. Without it, the plant cell becomes flaccid.
