e) What prevents a plant cell from bursting when it is full of water? e) What prevents a plant cell from bursting when it is full of water? Plant cells always have a strong cell wall surrounding them. When the take up water by osmosis they start to swell, but the cell wall prevents them from bursting.
Turgor in Plants. Plant cells are surrounded by rigid cell walls. When plant cells are exposed to hypotonic environments, water rushes into the cell, and the cell swells, but is kept from breaking by the rigid wall layer. The pressure of the cell pushing against the wall is called turgor pressure, and is the desired state for most plant tissues. For instance, placing a wilted celery stalk or lettuce leaf in a hypotonic environment of pure water, will often revive the leaf by inducing turgor in the plant cells.
