    Which of the following statement is correct?

    A) \[DPD=OP-WP\]    

    B) \[DPD=OP+WP\]

    C) \[DPD=WP-OP\]              

    D) \[DPD=TP+OP\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    \[DPD=OP-WP\] Diffusion pressure deficit is the measure or index of sucking power. OP or osmotic pressure is the pressure in atmosphere, which is required opposite direction so as to stop the entry of solvent molecule through semipermeable membrane. WPis wall pressure equal to TP, which is developed in a cell due to osmotic diffusion.
