Question

Name an instance where pressure can build up in a plant system.

Answer 1

Pressure buildup in plants:

1. Pressure is also built up in the plant system when water enters plant cell due to diffusion against cell wall.
2. It also makes the cell turgid, & increases pressure potential.
3. Pressure potential is also generally positive.
4. If pressure greater than atmospheric pressure is being applied to pure water or a solution, then its water potential increases, which is equivalent to pumping water from one place to another.
