the tension is what potentially could cause collapse and the thick, lignified walls resist the
collapse.
What is stress relaxation AND how does a cell cause stress relaxation? - answer✔Stress
relaxation is when microfibrils slide relative to each other, which relieves the tension that is
otherwise pulling on microfibrils. Tension in the wall is due to the cell's turgor pressure.
A cell causes relaxation by breaking the bonds between hemicellulose and cellulose, which
allows the fibers to slide. A cell breaks the bonds by pumping protons into the wall
(acidification), which activates a protein called Expansin. Expansin catalyzes breaking of the
hemicelluose cross-links.
Be sure to answer all of the following 3 questions about water potential before moving to the
next question.
For each, explain your answer.
(a) If the water potential in the apoplast is -0.5 MPa, and the water potential inside a cell is -0.25
MPa, then will water flow into the cell or out of the cell.
(b) Considering the scenario in (a), at what point does net flow of water stop?
