Chapter 39, Problem 2TY
Summary Introduction
Introduction: The turgor pressure in the cell forces the cytoplasm of the cell against the plasma membrane which, in turn, applies pressure on the cell wall. The cell wall is a rigid structure that provides an equal and opposite force to maintain the pressure.
