The difference of free energy present in the water of a system when compared with the free energy of pure water at constant temperature and pressure is called water potential. The concept of water …

The flow of water from a region of higher water potential to a region of lower potential, when the two solutions are separated by a semi or differentially permeable membrane is known as osmosis.

Water potential is the potential energy in water and derives the movement of water in plants. Plants used water potential to transport water to the leaves so that photosynthesis can take place. Water …

If plant cell happens to be bathed in hypertonic solution, it loses water through the process of exosmosis. The loss of water is first from cytoplasm and then central vacuole. As a result, the …

Water potential a) The value for Ψ in root tissue was found to be -3.3 bars. If you take the root tissue and place it in a 0.1 M solution of sucrose at 20°C in an open beaker, what is the Ψ of the solution, …

Water potential depends on the number or concentration of water molecules. More the number of water molecules in a system, higher will be the water potential. Hence, pure water has highest water …

Water potential is negative in plants because of the high number of solutes present in it. Solute potential has a negative value and hence decreases the overall water potential making its value negative.

Distilled water always has the highest water potential since it has no solute dissolved in it as well as the pressure on the system is zero. As we go on adding a solute to water, it's water potential decreases. …

Water potential is the chemical potential of water and depends on the number of water molecules. When a solute has been dissolved in water, there is a relative decrease in number of solvent or water …

Water potential is denoted by the Greek letter ψ (psi). It is the measure of the relative tendency of water to move from one area to another and are measured in the terms of bars, which is expressed in units …
