Importance of Turgor Pressure in Plants by Melissa Giorgi Ortiz is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Turgor pressure is generated in plant cells when water moves into the cell by osmosis due to higher solute concentration inside the cell. This pressure is important for many plant functions. It allows growth and movement as it puts pressure on the cell wall. Turgor pressure is determined by the balance of osmotic pressure pulling water in and the pressure pushing out due to the rigid cell wall. Plants regulate turgor to control functions like transport and growth by manipulating solute concentrations and wa
