**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Components**: In a plant cell, there are two main structures involved in pressure dynamics: the cell wall and the plasma membrane. The cell wall is the outermost layer that provides structure, while the plasma membrane is just inside the cell wall. 2. **Defining Turgor Pressure**: Turgor pressure is the pressure exerted by the fluid (usually water) inside the vacuole of a plant cell against the plasma membrane. This pressure is crucial for maintaining the cell's shape and preventing wilting. 3. **Role of the Cell Wall**: When a plant cell is placed in a hypotonic solution (where the concentration of solutes outside the cell is lower than inside), water enters the cell due to osmosis. This influx of water increases turgor pressure. ...
