<P> A plant cell in hypotonic solution will absorb water by endosmosis , so that the increased volume of water in the cell will increase pressure , making the protoplasm push against the cell wall , a condition known as turgor . Turgor makes plant cells push against each other in the same way and is the main line method of support in non-woody plant tissue . Plant cell walls resist further water entry after a certain point , known as full turgor , which stops plant cells from bursting as animal cells do in the same conditions . This is also the reason that plants stand upright . Without the stiffness of the plant cells the plant would fall under its own weight . Turgor pressure allows plants to stay firm and erect , and plants without turgor pressure ( known as flaccid ) wilt . A cell begins to decline in turgor pressure only when there is no air spaces surrounding it and eventually leads to a greater osmotic pressure than that of the cell . Vacuoles play a role in turgor pressure when water leaves the cell due to hyperosmotic solutions containing solutes such as mannitol , sorbitol , and sucrose . </P>
