**Step-by-Step Text Solution for the Question: What is diffusion pressure deficit (DPD)?** 1. **Definition of DPD**: Diffusion Pressure Deficit (DPD) is defined as the reduction in the diffusion pressure of water in a solution or a living cell. 2. **Causes of DPD**: The reduction in diffusion pressure can occur due to: - The addition of solute to the solution, which decreases the potential for water to diffuse. - The presence of forces that oppose the diffusion of water. ...

Which one of the following statements is incorrect regarding regarding diffusion pressure deficit ( DPD ) ?

DPD is directly proportional to the solute concentration of the system .

DPD of fully turgid cell becomes zero

DPD for a plasmolysed cell is highest

DPD of a flaccid cell is always more then osmotic pressure .

Which cell has maximum diffusion pressure deficit ?

Falcid cell

Turgid cell

Prokaryotic cell

Eukaryotic cell

If DPD represents diffusion pressure deficit, OP is the osmotic pressure and TP is the turgor pressure then which of the following equations is coorect?

`DPD=OP=TP`

`DPD=OP+TP`

`DPD=OP-TP`

`DPD=OP`
