Document Summary

Two conditions: stomata are open and the air surrounding the leaves is drier than the air inside the leaves. Potential energy that water has in a particular environment compared with the potential energy of pure water at room temp and atmospheric pressure. Differences in water potential determine the direction that water moves. Net movement of water is always from higher water potential to lower water potential. Solution: homogeneous liquid mixture containing several substances. Solutes: solution consists of water and dissolved substances. Solute potential: the tendency of water to move by osmosis. Isotonic solution: no net movement of water. Hypotonic solution: net movement of water into cell. Solutions with high concentrations of solutes have low solute potentials. Pressure potential: the tendency of water to move in response to pressure. Turgor pressure: expanding volume of cell pushes membrane out. Counteracts the movement of water into cells by osmosis. Wall pressure: stiff cell wall pushes back with equal and opposite force.
