turgor pressure requires cell ______ the expansion of cells as they take up water
membranes to constrain
walls to allow for
walls to constrain
Turgor pressure is the pressure exerted by water inside the cell against the cell wall. Cell walls need to be able to withstand and constrain the expansion of cells as they take up water to maintain cell integrity and shape. Cell membranes are not the main structures for constraining this expansion. And if cell walls allowed unrestricted expansion, it would lead to cell lysis.
