Difference between DPD,OP,TP,SOLUTE POTENTIAL,etc..
also mention which type of plants has highest those.
Solute Potential (ѱs)
The amount by which the water potential is reduced as a result of the presence of solute is called the solute potential or osmotic potentialOsmotic Pressure
- The maximum pressure which can develop in an osmotically active solution when it is separated from pure water by a semipermeable membrane is called osmotic pressure.
- Osmotic pressure is the pressure required to prevent the passage of pure water into an aqueous solution through a semipermeable membrane, thereby preventing an increase in the volume of the solution.
Turgor Pressure
- Turgor pressure (TP) is the pressure developed in an osmotic system because of the entry of water which causes swelling of the system.
Diffusion Pressure Deficit
- The amount by which diffusion pressure of a solution is lower than its pure solvent is known as diffusion pressure deficit (or DPD).
- Diffusion pressure deficit is therefore also called suction pressure. Its value is always positive for a cell.
- Every liquid has a specific diffusion pressure.
- Pure solvent has a greater diffusion pressure as compared to a solution prepared by dissolving a solute in pure solvent
