With an increase in the turgidity of a cell, the wall pressure will be:
Correct answer: C. Increase
- A. Fluctuate
- B. Remain unchanged
- C. Increase
- D. Decrease
Explanation
When the turgidity of a cell increases, it means that the cell's central vacuole is filled with more water, exerting an increased pressure on the cell wall. This increased pressure is called turgor pressure. As a result, the wall pressure of the cell will also increase.So correct option is C.
