What process halts the net movement of water from a hypotonic solution into a plant's cells and often provides the structural support to many plants?

A) Plasmolysis
B) Turgor pressure
C) Osmotic pressure
D) Facilitated diffusion
E) Dynamic equilibrium

Turgor Pressure

(turgor) Hydrostatic pressure that develops within a walled cell and presses outward against the plasma membrane.

Hypotonic Solution

A solution that has a lower concentration of solutes compared to another solution, causing water to move into the cell in osmosis.

Net Movement

The overall transfer or migration of substances, such as molecules or ions, from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, often referring to processes like diffusion.

  • Explain the effects of osmotic pressure on cells.
