This is the exact answer:

Turgor pressure is the pressure exerted on the cell wall of a plant. It is caused by the movement of water into the cell. When a plant cell stores substances like ions or sugars, the amount of substances inside and outside the cell are no longer equal. There are more substances inside the cell. This causes water to rush into the cell, increasing the pressure on the cell wall. The cell swells up, helping the plant to stand upright.

Pressure exerted by fluid in a cell that presses the cell membrane against the cell wall. Turgor is what makes living plant tissue rigid. Loss of turgor, resulting from the loss of water from plant cells, causes flowers and leaves to wilt.

Answer:

It's the nature vs nurture situation. While the genetics of a person does control the physical traits he/she may develop, the environment also has a major role to play here. For instance, the person may have the genes for developing a tall height. If, however, that person is not provided with the right kind of nutrition and the right time, it is very likely that he/she will not grow as tall as they had the potential for. Similar explanation for non-physical traits.

This is not an 'either/or' type of argument. Genetics and the environment have a collective impact in shaping the person into who they are and while the balance may shift to one side or the other in certain cases, it does not cancel out or negate the other's effect.

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!

Sonja [21]
Transport proteins (carrier proteins and channel proteins) allow substances into and out of the cell that cannot pass through the phospholipid bilayer (as they’re either to large, charged or not lipid soluble) by facilitated diffusion.
Specifically channel proteins allow ions into and out of the cell by creating a pore in the membrane in which they can move through with their concentration gradient
