Give an example of a pressure potential that is negative.

Open in App

Solution

Pressure Potential:
In a cell, pressure potential is a component of water potential.
The hydrostatic pressure imposed on the water in a cell determines the pressure potential.
Example:
Water transportation up a stem in plants is aided by negative potential or tension in the water column in the xylem.
