Expand and Define TP? |
|
Answer» TP stands for Turgor pressure. When a plant cell is placed in pure water (hypotonie solution) the diffusion of water into the cell takes place by endosmosis. It creates a positive hydrostatic pressure on the rigid cell wall by the cell membrane. Hence forth the pressure exerted by the ccli membrane towards the cell wall is Turgor Pressure (TP). |
