Q. The real forces responsible for the movement of water from one cell to another cell is mainly
A) Osmotic pressure
B) Turgor pressure
C) Diffusion pressure deficit
D) Imbibitions
Explanation
The net force with which water is drawn into a cell or root hair is equal to difference of OP and TP and is known as diffusion pressure deficit or suction pressure. DPD of pure water is maximum (=1236 atm) and solvent moves from cell of low DPD to high DPD. DPD or SP=OP-TP
