Turgor Pressure

In plant cells, the force, exerted by the flow of water, within the cell that pushes the plasma membrane against the cell wall. This force gives plants structure and helps them stand up and not wilt.

• External Stimuli

• Internal Stimuli

• Energy Transformation

• Turgor Pressure

What plant cell process is being shown in this video after the water is added to the soil?

• The plant cell vacuoles are filling with water and increasing turgor pressure.

• The plant cell vacuoles are losing water and decreasing turgor pressure.

• The plant cell vacuoles are loosing water and starting to collapse from gravitational pressure.

• The plant cell vacuoles are responding to light and forcing the plant to grow upwards.

What does this picture represent? 

• High turgor pressure
• Low carbon dioxide levels
• Very low turgor pressure
• The support and transportation organ of the plant is damaged

How does turgor pressure relate to a plant wilting?

• A wilting plant = high turgor pressure
• A wilting plant = high photosynthesis
• A wilting plant = low turgor pressure
• They are not related

What is the force inside the central vacuole called?

• The Force

• Turgor Pressure

• Water Pressure

• Thigmotropism
