turgor pressure Example Sentences

• Plants that loose water wilt because their turgor pressure decreases.
• For the most part, this is attributed to the turgor pressure.
• An increase of turgor pressure causes expansion of cells and extension of apical cells, pollen tubes, and in other plant structures such as root tips.
• The graph to the right shows the changes in turgor pressure in the cells at the base of the leaf.
• Plant cells use vacuoles to adjust their size and turgor pressure.
• Turgor pressure is responsible for much of the rigidity of plant tissues, as is readily apparent from examination of a dehydrated, wilted plant.
• Without this pressure, turgor pressure, the plant will wilt and die.
• An example of the effect of turgor pressure is the wilting of leaves and their restoration after the plant has been watered.
• Agents such as enzymes or antibiotics that damage the peptidoglycan cause cell lysis owing to the turgor pressure of the cytoplasm.
• For a plant cell, the ideal solution is a hypotonic solution because the cell takes in water increasing turgor pressure.
• Plants key terms include Photosynthesis, turgor pressure, Chemical Energy, Hydrotropism, Thigmatropism, Phototropism, Geotropism, Chlorophyll, Radiant Energy and Glucose.
• For measuring turgor pressure, we face similar challenges: a technique that measures at mesoscale resolution across tissues does not yet exist.
• It is generally stated that fully turgid cells have a turgor pressure value which is equal to that of the cell and that flaccid cells have a value at or near zero.
• The turgor pressure within a plant cell depends on the tonicity of the surrounding solution.
• Which organelle in a plant cell fills with water as turgor pressure develops?
• When water moves out of the cell, the turgor pressure decreases and the cell becomes flaccid.
• At this station, students will be watching a short video explaining tropisms and turgor pressure.
• Vacuoles may develop turgor pressure, a swelling that helps the plant cell maintain support and rigidity.

• Accessions with high osmoregulative capacity could maintain turgor pressure, as indicated by lower values of leaf water potential at full turgor.
• Lower turgor pressure can mean that the cell has a low water concentration and closing the stomata would help to preserve water.
• Turgor pressure had been lost as water diffused out of the cells.
• When a plant cell is in an isotonic solution, the turgor pressure decreases, causing wilting in the plant structure.
• After inoculation, osmotic stress causes the removal of water from yeast cells and leads to a decreased water availability and decreased turgor pressure.
• Important in maintaining turgor pressure in plants.
• It is not possible to measure cell wall stiffness directly due to the influence of turgor pressure.
• Causes a drop in turgor or osmotic pressure: called plasmolysis.
• Pressure potential is a measure of tissue turgor produced by the diffusion of water into the protoplast of cells enclosed by largely inelastic cell walls.
• Immobility places clients at risk for skin breakdown, pressure ulcers, and poor skin turgor.
