For plant physiology, explain why the oversized plant cell suspended in a beaker

Question

For plant physiology, explain why the oversized plant cell suspended in a beaker of sucrose below will exhibit turgor pressure, and contrast this to what would be expected to occur for an animal cell. What will the value of the turgor pressure be at equilibrium and a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius in MPa?

plain why the oversized plant cell suspended in a beaker of sucrose below for 1. 3 pts. Ex will exhibit turgor pressure, and contrast this to what would be expected to occur an animal cell. What will the value of the turgor pressure be temperature of 27°C in MPa? at equilibrium and a Remember, -4miRT, where m-concentrtion (molality or molarity), R-831 J K l mol 1, and T temperature in Kelvin. Assume that the below concentrations represent osmolarity in mol L', so the motic coefficient i, which indicates if a given compound may dissociate into multiple parts, has already been accounted for (ie, is just equal to 1). I Pa-1 J m. (Extra hint: pay attention to the volume units!) 5M 0.2M

Explanation / Answer

Here the plant cell suspended in a Sucrose solution. The concentration of cytoplasm inside the cell is 0.5M and the concentration of Solution outside the cell is 0.2M. That means the cytoplasm of cell is hyper tonic and out side solution is Hypotonic. Due to this Osmosis takesplace from outside to inside. That means solute or water moves from outside to inside . Then the cell become bulged. The bulged cell plasma membrane creates pressure against cell wall of the plant cell called Turgor pressure. In case of animal cells where no cell wall present, exhibit plasmosis that means bulging of cell. If it continues finally leads to plasmolysis .

The turgor pressure value generally for a epidermal leaf in between 1.5 - 2 M Pa
