water then passes through the cell wall‚ the cell membrane‚ and the cytoplasm and into the vacuole. The increased pressure of water inside the vacuole is called Turgor pressure. Then the cell becomes turgid. Plasmolysis is the opposite of turgor. This happens when plant cells may be placed in a less concentrated solution of water‚ although this is very unlikely to happen in nature.
