1. If you feed a houseplant with fertilizer too often, it may look wilted despite the soil being wet. Explain what has happened in terms of water potential. 2. If a mutation increased the radius of a xylem vessel threefold, how would the movement of water through the plant be affected? Be specific and try to calculate the change in water movement based on the change in the diameter of the xylem.
