Question:

What are Turgid cells?

Author: eric_galvao



Answer:

They are located in Plants. This links in with water potenital in the soil. If its high, then the cell becomes turgid and the cell insides push against the cell wall. This helps support the plant tissues. If the soil has a low water potential, then the cell becomes flaccid, where the cell walls retract. They don't loose their shape, as their inelastic cell wall keeps it in position.
