Detailed explanation-3: -When a fully turgid plant cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, the cytoplasm along with the plasma membrane shrinks and separates from the cell wall as water flows out from the vacuole of the cell. This phenomenon is called plasmolysis.
Detailed explanation-4: -In a fully turgid cell, the wall pressure would be zero.
Detailed explanation-5: -A turgid plant cell is a plant cell that has been filled with water as a result of osmosis. One of the functions of the plant cell wall is to prevent the cell from bursting when it is filled with water. Instead, the water pressure makes the cell very stiff and firm.
