Exceptionally the positive hydrostatic pressure generated by root pressure is about___________?
Correct answer: B. 800 Kpa
- A. 600 Kpa
- B. 800 Kpa
- C. 1000 Kpa
- D. 900 Kpa
Explanation
Exceptional root pressure is commonly stated to reach about 800 kPa, meaning a positive pressure of 800 kPa in the xylem. Students may choose 1000 kPa because it is a round value, but the standard textbook estimate in this question is 800 kPa.
