Q785
The hydrostatic pressure resulting from the entry of water into a cell due to osmosis is known as
A.
Wall pressure
B.
Turgor pressure
C.
Osmotic pressure
AnswerD.
Suction pressure
Answer: Option C
Solution
Answer: Option C
Solution:
The hydrostatic pressure resulting from the entry of water into a cell due to osmosis is known as Osmotic pressure.Osmotic pressure is defined as the pressure that must be applied to the solution side to stop fluid movement when a semipermeable membrane separates a solution from pure water.
Whereas hydrostatic pressure is the pressure exerted by a fluid at equilibrium at any point in time due to the force of gravity.
