Turgor pressure becomes equal to the wall pressure when

A

water leaves the cell

B

water enters are cell

C

no exchange of water takes place

D

solute goes from the cell into water .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The pressure that develops in a cell from time to time due to osmotic diffusion of water molecules into a cell that causes stretcing of the cell wall is
called turgor pressure . Due to turgor pressure , rigid cell wall offers resistance . This resistance works in a direction opposite to turgor pressure . But it is equal to turgor pressure and is called wall pressure . In this condition , no exchange of water takes place.
