  • A
    Turgor pressure equalises wall pressure
  • ✓
    Turgor pressure exceeds wall pressure
  • C
    Wall pressure exceeds turgor pressure
  • D
    None of these
✓

Answer

Correct option: B.
Turgor pressure exceeds wall pressure
(b) Turgor pressure exceeds wall pressure
Explanation:
Turgor pressure is the force that helps a cell maintain its shape. This pressure increases as water enters the cell through a process called endosmosis. Turgor pressure is always balanced by the wall pressure of the cell. However, if the turgor pressure exceeds the wall pressure, the cell wall can burst.
