Question
Chapter 36.1, Problem 2LO
Summary Introduction
To determine: The water potential of a cell.
Introduction: The tendency or ability of water to flow from one region to another through osmosis under the influence of gravitational force and mechanical force is called water potential. In plants, movement of water takes place on the basis of water potential.

For your first experiment you make a membrane of pure myristic acid and measure the
melting curve (shown below). Label the position on the plot that indicates the melting
temperature (Tm). In the space below describe the physical basis for the observed
temperature response of the membrane.
Also draw the melting curve for stearic
