  1. Water potential: psi (sigh) = MPa (megapascals) = 10 atmospheres of pressure; car tire 0.2 MPa, plant cells 1 MPa.
  2. Transpiration: a maize crop 75,000 plants/hectare 10 million L/hectare season (1.25 million gallons/acre)
  3. Proton pumps im root: get minerals, also generate root pressure.
