Turgidity: Turgidity is necessary for plant cells to make them remain position standing. A cell in its fully expanded condition is said to be turgid. It is a cellular state in which a plant cell, having immersed water, is in a state of tension. Thus, turgidity is the stale of a cell in which the cell wall is fully expanded due to absorption of water (endosmosis) up to the last limit.
The water pressure inside plant cells is called turgor pressure, and it is maintained by a process called osmosis. It is the state of being turgid or swollen, particularly due to a high fluid substance. Many cell types in many dissimilar organisms can become turgid due to water uptake.
Importance of turgidity:
(i) Closing and opening of Stomata are regulated by the turgidity of guard cells. Turgidity is very significant for plants and bacteria. It also results in bursting of a cell. It saves the plants from flaccid.
(ii) Growth of cells: Cells enlarge in plume due to turgidity. It helps in the movement of nutrient solutions from cell to cell. This is because of the dissimilarity in the attentiveness of the cell sap between one cell and the other.
(iii) Dispersion of seeds or spores: Many fruits and sporangia swell up and split off by absorbing water and eventually seeds and spores dispersed. It is essential for the development of dissimilar organs.
(iv) Giving mechanical support: Moat of the aquatic plants get rigidity only by turgidity. The water pressure inside plant cells is called turgor pressure, and it is maintained by a procedure called osmosis. This is significant because it is what keeps the plant upright and rigid.
(v) Germination: Due to turgidity the embryo gets more rigidity and comes out of the seed coat diming germination. It helps in the movement of nutrient solution from cell to cell. It is essential for the escalation of a dissimilar organ.
(vi) It helps in the movement of nutrient solutions from cell to cell. This is because of the difference in the concentration of the cell sap between one cell and the other. Without Turgor pressure; the plant will stop working to situate up-right.
(vii) It is necessary for the growth of different organs. It helps in the movement of nutrient solutions from cell to cell. This is because of the dissimilarity in the concentration of the cell sap between one cell and the other.
Turgidity is very important for plants. It helps in maintaining the plant rigid and upright. It also results in replete of a cell. It saves the plants from wilting.
