Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

Turgor pressure is the pressure exerted by the cell's contents on the cell wall, resulting in the cell becoming rigid and firm. Wall pressure, on the other hand, is the resistance of the cell wall to the expansion caused by turgor pressure, maintaining the shape and structure of the cell. In simpler terms, turgor pressure is the force from inside the cell pushing outwards, while wall pressure is the force from outside the cell pushing inwards.
