The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "If OP = TP then cell will be:", we need to understand the concepts of osmotic pressure (OP) and turgor pressure (TP) in plant cells. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Osmotic Pressure (OP)**: - Osmotic pressure is the pressure required to prevent the flow of water into a solution via osmosis. It is influenced by the concentration of solutes in the solution outside the cell. 2. **Understanding Turgor Pressure (TP)**: - Turgor pressure is the pressure exerted by the fluid (usually water) inside the central vacuole of a plant cell against the cell wall. It helps maintain the cell's shape and rigidity. 3. **Condition Given**: - The question states that OP = TP. This means that the osmotic pressure exerted by the solutes outside the cell is equal to the turgor pressure inside the cell. 4. **Analyzing the Condition**: - When OP = TP, it indicates a state of equilibrium. Water will not move into or out of the cell because the driving forces are balanced. 5. **Determining the State of the Cell**: - In this state, the cell is fully turgid. This is because the cell has taken up enough water to exert maximum pressure against the cell wall without bursting. 6. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, if OP = TP, the cell will be "fully turgid". ### Final Answer: - The cell will be **fully turgid**.
