Vedclass · Answer

(B) When a plant cell is placed in a hypotonic solution,water enters the cell due to endosmosis,causing the protoplast to press against the cell wall. This pressure is called Turgor Pressure $(TP)$. The rigid cell wall exerts an equal and opposite pressure on the protoplast,known as Wall Pressure $(WP)$. When the cell becomes fully turgid,$TP = WP$. At this stage,the net movement of water becomes zero,meaning no further exchange of water takes place between the cell and its environment,establishing a state of equilibrium.

Column-$I$	Column-$II$
$i$. Turgid cell	$a$. $T.P. = 0$
$ii$. Pure water	$b$. $D.P.D. = 0$
$iii$. Flaccid cell	$c$. $\Psi_w = 0$
