What is the relation between osmotic pressure (OP), turgor pressure (TP) and diffusion pressure deficit (DPD) ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To understand the relationship between osmotic pressure (OP), turgor pressure (TP), and diffusion pressure deficit (DPD), we can break it down into a few clear steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define Osmotic Pressure (OP)**: - Osmotic pressure is the minimum pressure required to prevent the inward flow of pure solvent (usually water) across a semipermeable membrane into a solution. It essentially measures the tendency of water to move into the solution due to solute concentration. 2. **Define Turgor Pressure (TP)**: ...
