Which organelle controls osmotic pressure in a cell?
GeneralClass 12AllAnswered 27 Mar 2026
Answer
The vacuole controls osmotic pressure in a cell, particularly in plant cells. By regulating the concentration of dissolved substances (solutes) and water content within the vacuole, the cell can maintain appropriate osmotic pressure (turgor pressure) that keeps plant cells firm and rigid. This pressure is essential for maintaining cell structure and supporting non-woody plant tissues.
