Turgor Pressure

What is the force done by water inside of a vacuole that applies a force necessary for the plant to stand upright?

• The Force

• Turgor Pressure

• Water Pressure

• Plant Bones

A plant that is wilted is said to have . . .

• No Water

• Plenty of Water

• Low Water

• All of these are correct

Where is water absorbed by plants?

• Roots

• Leaves

• Chloroplast

• Stem

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 in a plant cells hold food, water, and waste? 

• Cell Wall
• Mitochondria
• Vacuole
• Nucleus

A force exerted outward on a cell wall by the water contained on a cell.

• Turgor Pressure
• Adaptation
• Cell Wall
• Photosynthesis

How does the force supplied by the water in the plant affect the plant?

• Turgidity force is exerted outward on a plant cell wall by the water content of the vacuole in the cell. This force gives the plant rigidity, and helps to keep it erect.

• When water pressure is high, the plants turgor pressure is high and the plant cells can explode.

• When the water pressure is low, the plants turgor pressure is low and the plant wilts.

• All are true statements.

What do these plant cell vacuoles exhibit?

• Low Turgor Pressure

• Medium Turgor Pressure

• High Turgor Pressure

• All of these are correct

How come plants in the desert don't really experience low turgor pressure? 

• Plants that live in the desert has adapted to have tiny vacuoles so water can be removed easily
• Plants that live in the desert has adapted to have huge vacuoles that can hold more water than other plants
• Plants that live in the desert is able to create its own water through hydrocarbon loading
• Plants that live in the desert use its needles to protect itself from animals
