#cell water relations

3 public questions tagged with this topic.

A plant cell in isotonic solution becomes:

C fits best: Flaccid. Keep the BASICS of PLANT basics straight and Flaccid stands out as the precise answer. Avoid: A) Turgid; B) Plasmolysed; D) Burst. Light and flowering items often hinge on which photoreceptor or day-length rule is in play.

Turgor pressure is exerted by:

Protoplast on cell wall (B) is correct here. This is core BASICS of PLANT: once you know the definition or pathway step, Protoplast on cell wall is the clear fit. The wrong ones are A) Cell wall on protoplast; C) Vacuole on nucleus; D) Membrane on cytoplasm. If the topic is about gradients or potentials, water/solutes move from higher to lower of the relevant quantity.

Tonicity of a solution refers to its ability to:

Go with B — Modify cell volume. Under BASICS of PLANT, this is the standard explanation you’d use in class: it names the real driver or definition, while the rest are nearby but wrong. Not these: A) Change temperature; C) Break cell wall; D) Alter metabolism. When two options sound similar, choose the one that matches the textbook definition most tightly.
