What is the role of the cell wall in maintaining turgor pressure?
Stores genetic material
Facilitates cell movement
Provides structural support
Regulates cell metabolism
Why is turgor pressure important for plant cells?
Turgor pressure helps plant cells to move and contract.
Turgor pressure is not important for plant cells.
Turgor pressure maintains the shape and rigidity of plant cells.
Turgor pressure only affects the color of plant cells.
Name one factor that can affect turgor pressure in plant cells.
Sunlight exposure
Soil pH level
Air pollution
Water availability
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
Which organelle is responsible for the storage of water and nutrients?
cell wall
chloroplast
vacuole
mitochondria
The organelle (a) is responsible for (b) . This organelle is found mostly in the (c)
mitochondria
Which cell shows turgid/high turgor pressure?
Select the plant that demonstrates flaccid/low turgor pressure, little water in the vacuole.
(a) is the hormone that allows the plant to bend and grow towards stimuli.
