A force exerted outward on a cell wall by the water contained on a cell.
A
Turgor Pressure
B
Adaptation
C
Cell Wall
D
Photosynthesis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: The force exerted outward on a plant cell wall by the water contained in the cell is called turgor pressure. The turgor pressure is the pressure that is exerted inside of the once the water has moved inside the cell. The water moves inside the plant cell through osmosis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Turgor pressure is the hydrostatic pressure in excess of ambient atmospheric pressure which can build up in living, walled cells. Turgor is generated through osmotically driven inflow of water into cells across a selectively permeable membrane; this membrane is typically the plasma membrane.

Detailed explanation-3: -Turgor pressure is the force within the cell that pushes the plasma membrane against the cell wall. It is also called hydrostatic pressure, and is defined as the pressure in a fluid measured at a certain point within itself when at equilibrium.
