Turgor Pressure Explained • Turgor pressure is The pressure exerted by water inside the cell by the vacuole against the cell wall. A decrease in turgor pressure causes wilting. 1. When does a plant cell have HIGH turgor pressure? What will the plant look like? 2. When does a plant cell have LOW turgor pressure? What will the plant look like? 3. What type of model could you design to illustrate turgor pressure. Answers 1. A plant cell has HIGH turgor pressure when there is plenty of water in the cell’s vacuoles. A plant whose cell’s have high turgor pressure will look perky and healthy. Answers 2. A plant has LOW turgor pressure when there is a lack (not enough) of water. A plant whose cells have low turgor pressure will look wilted and droopy.
