With increase in the turgidity of a cell surrounded by water the wall pressure will:

1. increase
2. decrease
3. fluctuate
4. remain unchanged

Correct answer: increase

Solution

When a cell becomes more turgid, water enters and the protoplast presses harder against the cell wall. This increases wall pressure because the wall must resist a greater outward force.
