If turgidity of a cell surrounded by water increases, the wall pressure will

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
If a plant cell is placed in hypotonic solution/pure water, starts moving in by endosmosis As the volume of the protoplast increases, it begins to exert pressure against the cell wall (turgor pressure). The cell wall exerts equal and opposite pressure (wall pressure) on the protoplast.
