Chapter 36.3, Problem 3EQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: The reason why Sack and colleagues measured leaf water conduction at two or more places on each leaf.
Introduction: Sack and colleagues conducted an experiment to identify the adaptive advantages provided to plants through palmate venation. For this, the scientists studied water conduction in palmate plant and pinnate plants and compared the results.

QUESTION 1
Water potential is the pressure exerted by freely moving water molecules in a
system. 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. If an athlete was heavily perspiring after an intense match game, suggest one
type of replacement drink (with explanation) that he should take between
hypertonic, isotonic and hypotonic drink to recover himself.
