Pressure is measured by weight per square inch.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pressure is the ratio between force and area.
The offical measuring unit in SI is pascal (symbol Pa); 1 Pa = N/m2.

Why root pressure is absent in gymnosperms?
Root pressure is significant in herbaceous plants whereas gymnosperms are very tall plants
What is the main cause of guttation in plants?
the main cause of guttation in plants is root pressure.during night wen root pressure is high sometimes den due to this pressure watery drops ooze out with the assistance of special structures which help in guttation called the hydathodes
Why do the roots of some aquatic plants become reduced or at times absent?
Root pressure is osmotic pressure within the cells of a root 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 whentranspiration is low during the day. When transpiration is high, xylem sap is usually under tension, rather than under pressure, due to transpirational pull. At night in some plants, root pressure causes guttation or exudation of drops of xylem sap from the tips or edges of leaves. Root pressure is studied by removing the shoot of a plant near the soil level. Xylem sap will exude from the cut stemfor hours or days due to root pressure. If a pressure gauge is attached to the cut stem, the root pressure can be measured.Root pressure is caused by active distribution of mineral nutrient ions into the root xylem. Without transpiration to carry the ions up the stem, they accumulate in the root xylem and lower the water potential. Water then diffuses from the soil into the root xylem due toosmosis. Root pressure is caused by this accumulation of water in the xylem pushing on the rigid cells. Root pressure provides a force, which pushes water up the stem, but it is not enough to account for the movement of water to leaves at the top of the tallesttrees. The maximum root pressure measured in some plants can raise water only to about 7 meters, and the tallest trees are over 100 meters tall.
What three mechanisms are involved in water movements in plants?
Transpiration and root pressure are the only two I can think of.
What force helps move water up through plants?
Capillary action, transpiration, and root pressure move water up through the plant.

What is the root word of demonstrate?

What Latin root means 'to point out'?
Monstrare. Think "demonstrate".
How does root pressure assist in water uptake?
Transpiration. It's a bit like upthrust but for water traveling up through plants. The insides of the plant closes up so it can travel.
What force helps water move through plants?
Capillary action, transpiration, and root pressure move water up through the plant.
What are the two organ systems of plants?
The root and shoot system are the two organ system of plants
What force helps move water up through plants?
Capillary action, transpiration, and root pressure move water up through the plant.
What plants does have root nodule?
they have got a root nodule
What is the large root that taproots have?
The tap root is (in most plants) the largest root.
