Correct option is A
The correct answer is (a) Cell wall
Explanation: The cell wall of a plant cell helps it withstand the pressure of incoming water
Information Booster: Cell wall & Turgor Pressure
- Cell wall- The cell wall is a rigid, carbon-based structure that provides mechanical strength and shape to the plant cell. It's made of complex polysaccharides like pectin and glycan, and some microfibers. The cell wall acts as a pressure regulator for the plant cell.
- Turgor pressure- Turgor pressure is the pressure that water in a cell exerts on its cell walls. When water enters a plant cell through diffusion, it develops wall pressure inside the cell. The cell wall exerts an equal pressure against the swollen cell.
