Turgid

... loses pressure and "deflates". This inhibits elongation and causes drooping. As to why growth rates fall to zero when cells are still turgid, I am sure that the cell being turgid doesn't mean it must grow. The turgor pressure changes usually for nastic movements, so in case I didn't ...

Why does the rate of cell elongation fall when turgor is reduced? Why does growth rate fall to zero when cells are still turgid?

... If the cell is animal, it will lyse, as water has the tendency to flow in areas of low solute concentration. If the cell is plant, it will become turgid (which is why plants stand up straight). If a cell is in a hypertonic solution, the cell has less solutes than its surroundings, so water inside ...

... to burst. So the solution would be hypotonic. Also i think Protozoa actually lack a rigid cell wall so their cell would burst instead of becoming turgid.
