Question
Chapter 36, Problem 13TYU
Summary Introduction
To explain: The pathways and forces necessary to carry water molecules to the leaves of the trees.
Concept introduction: Water is very important requirement for the growth of plants. Plants have developed an effective way for absorption, translocation, storage, and utilization of water. There is a vascular system in plants that conducts transportation of water in plants. Vascular system comprises two components: xylem and phloem. The transportation of water and dissolved solutes from roots toward leaves is called the ascent of sap.

Describe the relationship between water potential with solute potential and pressure potential in plants. Plant cell P has a solute potential of-350 kPa and a pressure potential of 200 kPa. Besides, is plant cell Q which has a solute potential of -500 kPa and a pressure potential of 200 kPa. Determine the direction of net movement of water between the two cells by using the water potential equation. Explain the characteristics of water that make it such an important medium for life.
