What is turgor pressure?
Plant cells swell in response to a hypotonic solution
Put some wilted celery in a glass of cool
water. If it has not wilted too much, it will
become stiff again. This is because of
turgor pressure when the plant cell
vacuoles become filled with water, push
against the cell walls and become firm.
