1 Answer

Answer:

When water moves into a plant cell, the vacuole gets bigger, pushing the cell membrane against the cell wall. The force of this increases the turgor pressure within the cell making it firm or turgid . The pressure created by the cell wall stops too much water entering and prevents cell lysis.
