How does osmosis contribute to turgor pressure in plant cells?

• Osmosis causes water to move into the plant cells

• Osmosis causes the movement of nutrients out of the plant cells

• Osmosis has no effect on turgor pressure in plant cells

• Osmosis causes water to move out of the plant cells

What happens to a plant cell when turgor pressure decreases?

• It becomes hypertonic

• It becomes turgid

• It becomes flaccid

• It becomes hypotonic

Explain the relationship between turgor pressure and wilting in plants.

• Turgor pressure helps maintain the rigidity of the plant, and wilting occurs when there is a lack of turgor pressure.

• Wilting is caused by excess turgor pressure

• Turgor pressure causes wilting in plants

• Turgor pressure has no effect on wilting in plants

What is the main function of turgor pressure in plant cells?

• Aid in the transportation of water and nutrients in plant cells

• Control the rate of photosynthesis in plant cells

• Regulate the production of chlorophyll in plant cells

• Maintain the shape and rigidity of plant cells

How does the vacuole contribute to turgor pressure in plant cells?

• By releasing water and causing the cell to shrink

• By producing energy through photosynthesis

• By storing water and maintaining the cell's rigidity

• By regulating the cell's temperature
