Question

unit 1 a cell transport, homeostasis, feedback quiz 2025 if a plant cell is placed in a salt solution, the cell will increase its turgor pressure (pressure of water pushing against a plant cell wall). true false

Explanation:

When a plant cell is placed in a salt solution (hypertonic environment), water leaves the cell via osmosis. Turgor pressure is the pressure of the cell contents against the cell wall. As water leaves, the protoplast shrinks, reducing turgor pressure, not increasing it. So the statement is false.

Answer:

False
