The suction pressure of the cell is

Options

  1. Aequal to wall pressure
  2. Bequal to turgor pressure
  3. Cequal to DPD
  4. Dosmotic pressure

Correct answer

C. equal to DPD

Step-by-step solution

The negative pressure difference formed between two points that enables flow of gas or liquid to a lower state from higher state is called suction pressure. The pressure that enables entry of water into the cell due to osmosis is the osmotic pressure (OP) and it is considered negative. The pressure developed in cell due to entry of water and acting opposite to the OP is called turgor pressure (TP). It is a negative pressure as it resists entry of water in cell. The difference between these two results in diffusion
