Q4 / 180 · AIIMS 2002 · Botany
If turgor pressure becomes equal to the wall pressure, then
- Awater leaves the cell
- Bwater enters the cell
- Correct answerCno exchange of water takes place
- Dsolute goes from the cell into water.
Solution
The pressure that develops in a cell from time to time due to osmotic diffusion of water molecules into a cell that causes stretching of the cell wall is called turgor pressure. Due to turgor pressure, rigid cell wall offers resistance. This resistance works in a direction opposite to turgor pressure. But it is equal to turgor pressure and is called wall pressure. In this condition, no exchange of water takes place.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
