Assignment Help:

What does the formula DPD = SF - TP mean?

DPD is the abbreviation of diffusion pressure shortage, SF (suction force) is the vacuolar osmotic pressure and TP is the turgor pressure.

The difference among SF and TP determines whether water tends or not to enter the cell. If SF > TP, DPD > 0 and water tends to enter the cell by osmosis. If TP > SF, DPD < 0 and water cannot enter the cell by osmosis.
