Hypotonic conditions in a plant cell can create turgor pressure by causing water to move into the cell faster than it can exit due to higher osmotic pressure inside the cell. Turgor pressure pushes the cell membrane against the cell wall, making the cell rigid and helping the plant stand up straight.

what part of the plant is in charge to make the plant stand up?
Stem
Why does a hypotonic solution causes a cell to burst?
Hypotonic is a relative term i.e when you say a hypotonic(less concentration of electrolyte or solute in it) solution it is in comparision with other solution. Here it is in comparision with the fluid of the cell. As you say a hypotonic solution is around the cell here, therefore by the process of osmosis, fluid from the cell will drain out resulting it to shrink since solution travels from high concentration (cell) to lower concentration of solute(in hypotonic solution). example: A grape kept in honey shrinks Cell can swell and burst if there is a hypertonic solution around it. example: Raisin kept in water swells
Which of the following is an adaptation that would make the most sense in a fully-submerged water plant?
A thin, flexible stem would be a beneficial adaptation for a fully-submerged water plant because it allows the plant to bend and move with water currents while minimizing resistance. This adaptation helps the plant to avoid damage from strong water flow and enables efficient nutrient uptake.
Why are leaves on daphne turning yellow?
Yellow leaves on a daphne plant could be due to overwatering, nutrient deficiency, or exposure to extreme temperatures. Check the soil moisture, provide balanced fertilizer, and make sure the plant is not stressed by environmental conditions.
Which plant can grow in vacuum in space?
Plants cannot grow in a vacuum in space because they require air, water, and nutrients to survive. The lack of atmosphere and extreme conditions in space make it impossible for plants to thrive without the necessary resources.
How hypotonic and hypertonic solution can make a plant rigid and firm or make it wilt.?
it can make it wilt because there is no water in the cell which is hypertonic solutions.
what part of the plant is in charge to make the plant stand up?
Stem
What conditions are needed by a plant to make it grow?
sunlight, water and air .....
What is adapation?
To adapt is to make suitable to requirements or conditions. To be adapted is to be adjusted to certain requirements or conditions.
What happens to a plant cell if it is place in a hypotonic solution?
If a plant cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, water will move into the cell due to the higher concentration of solutes inside the cell compared to outside. This can cause the cell to swell and potentially burst, a process known as lysis.
What transports water around the plant and help it stand up?
The Cell Walls make it stand up and the Xylem tissue transports the water
What is another material to make a pot plant stand?
jump off a cliff then eat an egg
How does hypotonic solutions and hypertonic solutions make a plant wilt?
Actually, only hypertonic solutions make the plant wilt. Hypotonic does the opposite and actually makes the plant want to burst. However, the cell wall prevents this from happening. Next time after a thunderstorm, go up to a flower and cut it. Water will ooze out, if not spurt out. Hypertonic solution means that the concentration of water is higher inside a cell than outside. During transportation in cells, since diffusion is a type of passive transport, the water will tend to go with the gradient, or from a high concentration to a low concentration. So, the high concentration of water will flow out of the plant cell. Due to the eventual lack of water in the plant cells, the plant will begin to wilt. If you water the plant and check 30 minutes later, it will be back in its upright position.
What solution would make a red blood cell swell?
A hypotonic solution would.

How does being placed in a hypertonic solution affect a plant?
Being placed in a hypertonic solution causes water to move out of the plant cells by osmosis, leading to loss of turgor pressure and wilting of the plant. This can disrupt normal cellular functions and potentially lead to cell death if the plant is not able to recover by accessing more water.
What are some issues about plant cells?
Plant cells vs animal cells. They are all the same except plant cells have chloroplasts which are involved in photosynthesis and a cell wall which allows them to "stand tall". Issues means something bad so make your question clearer.
