Turgor, Pressure exerted by fluid in a cell that presses the cell membrane against the cell wall. Turgor is what makes living plant tissue rigid. Loss of turgor, resulting from the loss of water from plant cells, causes flowers and leaves to wilt.

Turgor pressure is the force within the cell that pushes the plasma membrane against the cell wall. [ 1 ] 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. [ 2 ]

2017年4月28日 · Turgor pressure is the force exerted by stored water against a cell wall. Fungi, protists, bacteria, and plants all secrete various extracellular molecules form together to create a solid wall on the outside of their cells.

2023年2月3日 · Turgor pressure, also known as pressure potential or hydrostatic pressure, is the pressure exerted by the cell’s fluid content (e.g., water) against the cell wall. It is represented by the symbol ‘Ψp’.

2023年9月8日 · What is turgor pressure? In a biological context, turgor pressure is the pressure that is exerted by water on the wall of a cell. Think of a balloon that is being filled up with water as a turgor pressure example. The balloon swells as more water draws in.

The meaning of TURGOR is the normal state of turgidity and tension in living cells; especially : the distension of the protoplasmic layer and wall of a plant cell by the fluid contents.

2024年8月10日 · Turgor pressure is the pressure exerted by fluid against the cell wall. Turgor pressure is regulated by osmoregulation in plant cells. It is crucial for maintaining cell structure and rigidity. Turgor pressure plays a role in stomate formation, apical growth, nastic movement, and seed dispersal.

2024年3月24日 · Turgor pressure is the internal force exerted by water against a cell’s plasma membrane and its supporting cell wall, primarily observed in plants, fungi, and bacteria, resulting from the osmotic flow of water into the cell.

2023年2月23日 · The main difference between turgor pressure and osmotic pressure is that osmotic pressure is the minimum pressure required to be applied to the solution to prevent the inward flow of its pure solvent across a semi-permeable membrane, whereas turgor pressure is the pressure inside the cell that pushes the plasma membrane against the cell wall of ...

2022年9月16日 · turgor, Pressure exerted by fluid in a cell that presses the cell membrane against the cell wall. Turgor is what makes living plant tissue rigid. Loss of turgor, resulting from the loss of water from plant cells, causes flowers and leaves to wilt.
