Question
turgor pressure is observed when a plant cells environment is
multiple choice
osmosis
hypoosmotic
isosmotic
hyperosmotic
Brief Explanations
Turgor pressure occurs when water moves into plant cells by osmosis due to a hypoosmotic environment (where the solute - concentration outside the cell is lower than inside), causing the cell to swell and press against the cell wall. Osmosis is the process, not the environmental condition. In an isosmotic environment, there is no net water movement, and in a hyperosmotic environment, water moves out of the cell.
