    When a cell is fully turgid, which of the following will be zero?

    A)  Wall pressure         

    B)  Osmotic pressure

    C)  Turgor pressure

    D)  Water potential

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     When a cell becomes turgid, the increase in turgor pressure resists the entry of water into the cell. . \[\psi cell-TP\text{ }cell=-OP\text{ }cell\] \[\psi cell=TP\text{ }cell-OP\text{ }cell\] At equilibrium \[\psi cell=TP\text{ }cell-OP\text{ }cell=zero.\]
