Question

Turgor occurs in plant cells, but not in animal cells, due to the presence of a _________ which offsets osmotic pressures.

Answer 1

Hi!!
the answer is cell wall.

Plant cell walls have a number of functions: They provide rigidity to the cell for structural and mechanical support, maintaining cell shape, the direction of cell growth, and ultimately the architecture of the plant. The cell wall also prevents expansion when water enters the cell. The term turgor is used to describe this pressure that is induced by excess water inside the plant cell

In biology, turgor pressure or turgidity is the pressure of the cell contents against the cell wall, in plant cells, determined by the water content of the vacuole, resulting from osmotic pressure. i.e. the hydrostatic pressure produced by a solution in a space divided by a semipermeable membrane due to a differential in the concentration of solute. Turgid plant cells contain more water than flaccid cells and exert a greater osmotic pressure on its cell walls.

I hope this helps!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

a cell wall
