1 Osmotic Pressure - Osmotic pressure is a the pressure that would have to be applied to a pure solvent to prevent it from passing into a given solution by osmosis, often used to express the concentration of the solution.
2 Suction pressure- Suction is the flow of a fluid into a partial vacuum, or region of lowpressure. The pressure gradient between this region and the ambientpressure will propel matter toward the low pressure area.
3 Root Pressure- Root pressure is the transverse osmotic pressure within the cells of aroot system that causes sap to rise through a plant stem to the leaves.Root pressure occurs in the xylem of some vascular plants when the soil moisture level is high either at night or when transpiration is low during the day......
