Halophytes may show cell pressure very much higher than atmospheric pressure. Explain how this can happen?
Halophytes may show cell pressure very much higher than atmospheric pressure. Explain how this can happen?

Solution:

Their cell cytoplasm is hypertonic due to the greater salt concentration, allowing water from the surrounding cells or region to enter the cell cytoplasm. The cell will exert a greater amount of pressure. Salt-secreting glands will be present to regulate the pressure that eliminates the surplus salts.
