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).
Turgor pressure pushes the plasma membrane against the cell wall of  plant, bacteria, and fungi cells. An example of turgor pressure is  osmosis which causes water to flow f â¦ rom an area of low solute  concentration to an area of high solute concentration until the two  areas are equal. 1 person found this useful.
