To attain maximum turgidity of a cell it must be placed in:
Correct answer: B. Distilled water
- A. Normal saline
- B. Distilled water
- C. Glucose solution
- D. Away from sunlight
Explanation
To attain maximum turgidity of a plant cell, it should be placed in a hypotonic solution, such as distilled water. In a hypotonic solution, the concentration of solutes outside the cell is lower than inside the cell, causing water to enter the cell through osmosis. This influx of water leads to the swelling of the cell and the development of turgor pressure, making the cell firm and rigid.
