CBSEENBI11025785
Wired Faculty App

Diffusion Pressure Deficit (DPD) is equal to the Osmotic pressure substracted by

  • Osmotic Pressure (OP)

  • Turgor Pressure (TP)

  • Suction Pressure (SP)

  • Water Potential (ψw)

Solution

B.

Turgor Pressure (TP)

The amount by which the diffusion pressure of a solution is lower than that of its solvent is known as Diffusion Pressure Deficit or DPD. It is also called suction pressure. At fully turgid condition.

DPD (SP) = OP - WP
