Question

When a cell is fully turgid , _____________ is zero.

• A. OP
• B. TO
• C. WP
• D. DPD

Answer 1

Answer:

D. DPD

• DPD is the difference between the osmotic pressure of the cell sap and the turgor pressure of the cell.

• When a cell is fully turgid:

- Osmotic pressure = Turgor pressure

- DPD = 0

• At this point, there is no net movement of water into or out of the cell, and the cell is in a state of equilibrium.
