The value of root pressure is about __________ to __________ bars...
The value of root pressure is about __________ to __________ bars which is enough to pump water to a height of 10 to 20 meters in plants.
Options
- A to
- B to
- C to
- D to
Correct answer
A. to
Step-by-step solution
Root pressure is a positive hydrostatic pressure that develops in the roots due to the active absorption of ions from the soil.
The typical value of root pressure is about to bars.
Since bar of pressure can support a water column of approximately meters, a root pressure of to bars is sufficient to pump water to a height of to meters in plants.
