Worked practice questions

In a plant cell at flaccid state (TP = 0), the relationship between OP and DPD is:

  1. DPD = 0
  2. DPD = OP (since DPD = OP − TP = OP − 0)
  3. DPD = 2·OP
  4. DPD < 0
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. DPD = OP (since DPD = OP − TP = OP − 0)

DPD = OP − TP. When TP = 0 (flaccid cell), DPD = OP. The cell can absorb water maximally. As it absorbs water, TP rises and DPD falls — until full turgidity (TP = OP, DPD = 0).

If a plant cell has OP = 12 atm and TP = 4 atm, its **DPD** is:

  1. 16 atm
  2. 4 atm
  3. 8 atm (= 12 − 4)
  4. −8 atm
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. 8 atm (= 12 − 4)

DPD = OP − TP = 12 − 4 = 8 atm. This cell can still absorb water (it has 'thirst' equivalent to 8 atm).
