[LNF26] Why don't plant cells burst like overfilled balloons?

Lange Nacht der Forschung A transparent, expandable “plant cell” model demonstrates how vacuoles generate internal pressure and how flexible cell walls adapt to it. By inflating a balloon inside a movable box, visitors can see how plant cells grow under tension and how stress is managed through cellular quality-control mechanisms. The demo is hands-on, visual, and suitable for all ages.
