When a cell is frilly turgid, which of the following will be zero?
A
turgor pressure
B
water potential
C
wall pressure
D
osmotic pressure.
Answer
water potential
Explanation
Solution
In a frill turgid cell, DPD = O because it has T.R = O.P. It means that the cell has no further capacity to | absorb any water. Water potential is equal but opposite in | sign to D.P.D. So in a fully turgid cell the water potential | is zero.
