Scientists have recently learned that mangroves are able to undergo a process similar to reverse osmosis in the tips of their roots. As a result, the water entering the mangrove's body is significantly less salty than the water surrounding its roots. As opposed to artificial reverse osmosis, which uses pressure generated by pumps to force water through a membrane, the mangrove's "passive" reverse osmosis uses negative pressure generated by water evaporating from the mangrove's leaves to pull fresh water through membrane-like structures in its roots. Technology based on the red mangrove's version of "reverse osmosis" is already being developed, and there is hope it may lead to a much less energy-intensive method of desalination (removing salt from water). Develop a potential explanation as to why it would be advantageous to the mangrove to desalinate…arrow_forward

What would happen if you place the roots of this plant in a 0.1 M solution of sucrose (water potential is -0.23 MPa)? The net water flow would be from the tissue into the sucrose solution The net water flow would occur only as ATP was hydrolyzed in the tissue The net water flow would be from the sucrose solution into the tissue The net water flow would be in both directions and the concentration of water would remain equal The net water flow would be impossible to determine from the values given herearrow_forward
