If turgor pressure becomes equal to the wall pressure, then

If turgor pressure becomes equal to the wall pressure, then

Options

  1. Awater leaves the cell
  2. Bwater enters the cell
  3. Cno exchange of water takes place
  4. Dsolute goes from the cell into water.

Correct answer

C. no exchange of water takes place

Step-by-step solution

The pressure that develops in a cell from time to time due to osmotic diffusion of water molecules into a cell that causes stretching 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.
