 Multiple Choice QuestionsMultiple Choice Questions

91.

Good soil is :

  • which holds whole of the water that enters into it

  • which allows percolating the water slowly from it

  • which allows water to pass very quickly from it

  • which allows limited amount of water to retain into it

If turgor pressure becomes equal to the wall pressure, then

  • water leaves the cell

  • water enters the cell

  • no exchange of water takes place

  • solute goes from the cell into water


C.

no exchange of water takes place

Turgor pressure is the pressure that develops in a cell from time to time due to osmotic diffusion of water molecules into a cell resulting in the stretching of cell wall. Due to turgor pressure, rigid cell wall offers resistance. This resistance works in a direction opposite to turgor pressure. But it is equal to turgor pressure and is called wall pressure. In this condition, no exchange of water takes place.
