This is why cord blood can be used for transplantation as an alternative to bone marrow. Cord blood is being used increasingly on an experimental basis as a source of stem cells, as an alternative to bone marrow. Most cord blood transplants have been performed in patients with blood and immune system diseases.
(= (S + (p. . Solute potential is at a maximum at zero (distilled water), whereas pressure potential can be negative (vacuum), zero (one atmosphere), or positive (greater than zero). So distilled water at normal atmospheric pressure has a water potential of zero ((= 0).
When boiling point is increased due to the addition of a NON-VOLATILE SOLUTE to the solution. This is because adding a non-volatile solute will decrease the vapor pressure of the solvent (decrease the partial pressure of the solvent above the solution) and thus it will take more energy to exceed the external pressure.
