Question

What type of response would the plant have if its cells had low turgor pressure?

Answer 1

Turgor pressure ensures that a plant can maintain its shape. A plant's leaves wilt when the turgor pressure decreases and revive when the plant has been watered. Pressure potentials are typically around 0.6–0.8 MPa, but can reach as high as 1.5 MPa in a well-watered plant.
