    • Had to look that up.

      From NIH:

      “Plants are made of tiny ‘pressure bombs’. Indeed, walled cells as in plants, fungi or bacteria contain a high hydrostatic pressure termed turgor pressure. Turgor pressure can reach 20 atmospheres, i.e. 2 MPa, a value much higher than the air pressure inside automobile tires”

      ! !

      “It also can change dynamically depending on many intrinsic and extrinsic factors, such as sugar metabolism, changes in the shapes of cells and tissues (including growth) . . . ”

      . . . and observable qualities of interns.
