If the vacuole in a plant cell experiences a large loss of water,

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The vacuole in plant cells plays a critical role in maintaining turgor pressure, which helps maintain the shape and structure of the cell. If the vacuole loses a large amount of water, the turgor pressure will decrease, causing the cell to shrink and lose its normal shape. Therefore, the best choice is E, which states that the plant cell will experience a decrease in turgor pressure. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the consequences of water loss from the vacuole, and choice D is incorrect because cell wall rigidity does not prevent changes in cell shape due to decreases in turgor pressure.
