Question

what happens when a pressure greater than the atmospheric pressure is applied to pure water or a solution

Answer 1

when a pressure greater than atmospheric pressure is applied to the pure water or a solution its water potential is increased it is equivalent to pumping water from one place to another pressure can build up in a plant system when water enters a plant cell due to the fusion .the cell becomes turgid it increases the pressure potential the pressure potential is mostly positive water potential is influenced by solute and pressure potential it is represented by( shown in figure refer the attachment)

_________________

$<b><i>$Water potential is the tendency of water to move from one part of the plant to the other part of the plant.Water potential starts increasing when pressure greater than the atmospheric pressure is applied to pure water or solution .

$<b><i>$The potential which starts increasing will be positive and also the pressure will be build up and due to this the cell got rigid as when water diffuse into the plant cell and then the pressure potential also gets increased .Transportation in the plants is much complex and the pure water has the maximum potential .
