Question

Is water movement due to DPD?

Answer 1

DPD:

1. Diffusion pressure deficit (DPD) is the pressure difference between pure water and a solution.
2. It is influenced by the osmotic pressure and turgor pressure.
3. DPD is the force that drives water molecules to flow from a region of higher concentration to a region of lesser concentration.
4. It is the driving force behind water absorption by cells and water moves from a region of low DPD to a region with high DPD.
