The pressure developed as the result of fluid in a turgid (swollen) plant cell caused by the osmotic diffusion toward the inside of a cell. 2, record 2, English, - turgor%20pressure
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Turgor pressure is the force that is exerted on a plant's cell wall by the water (in the cytoplasm) within the cell. The water presses against the cell wall from within, giving the plant cell rigidity, helping it keep its shape. Turgor pressure is the mechanism that changes the shape of the guard cells that open a plant's stomata, pores located on the underside of leaves. 3, record 2, English, - turgor%20pressure

La croissance cellulaire est une déformation irréversible de la cellule. Celle-ci ne peut se réaliser que si sa paroi est susceptible de se déformer. Quelque soit la plasticité (potentialité de déformation irréversible) de la paroi, celle-ci ne peut s'exprimer que si la paroi est soumise à une pression ou à une tension. Expérimentalement, il est possible d'exercer une tension à l'aide d'un extensomètre. "In vivo", c'est la pression interne de la cellule ou pression de turgescence qui effectuera ce rôle. La pression de turgescence est fonction de la différence entre les potentiels hydriques interne et externe. Elle est en première approximation proportionnelle à la différence des pressions osmotiques interne et externe. Il est possible de faire varier la pression de turgescence d'une cellule en faisant varier la pression osmotique du milieu extérieur. 4, record 2, French, - pression%20de%20turgescence

La croissance d'un tissu végétal dépend de la pression de turgescence exercée dans les cellules et d'une résistance à la déformation située dans les parois. 5, record 2, French, - pression%20de%20turgescence

A fuel-cell power plant generally consists of three major subsystems - a fuel processor, a fuel-cell power station, and a power conditioner. The fuel processor converts a conventional utility fuel to hydrogen gas; the fuel-cell power station electrochemically converts hydrogen and oxygen to water, while producing direct-current power; and the power conditioner converts direct-current power to alternating-current power. 3, record 3, English, - fuel%2Dcell%20power%20plant
