Discuss the role of turgor in the crisp lettuce purchased at the grocery store looking much limper by
the time it gets home. What will be an ideal response?
At the grocery store, they mist the vegetables with water. The water enters the lettuce cells generating
turgor which keeps the leaves full and crisp. Once you buy the lettuce and the mist is lost (possibly
combined with a ride in a hot trunk), the water leaves the leaves reducing the turgor and causing the
lettuce to wilt.
