Symplastic route - water/solutes move along the continuum of cytosol (thru plasmodesmata)

Report

H+ cotransporter - movement of sugar/ion against its concentration gradient is coupled with movement of H+ down its electrochemical gradient (loads sucrose into phloem, nitrates into roots)

Includes effects of solute concentration and physical pressure

Measured in megapascals. Ability of free water to do work

Pure water in a container open to the atmosphere under standard conditions (sea level, room temp) has Ѱ = 0 MPa

Internal pressure of a living plant cell due to osmotic uptake of water = 0.5 MPa

Report

Voltie Posted 5 years ago ( 2019/08/18 21:24:48 )

Water potential equation: Ѱ = ѰS + ѰP

Report

Voltie Posted 5 years ago ( 2019/08/18 21:24:56 )

Solute/osmotic potential (ѰS) - directly proportional to molarity, always negative

Report

Voltie Posted 5 years ago ( 2019/08/18 21:25:03 )

As solute concentration increases, ѰS decreases (more negative)

Report

Voltie Posted 5 years ago ( 2019/08/18 21:25:10 )

Pressure potential (ѰP) - physical pressure on a solution, positive or negative relative to atmospheric pressure

Report

Voltie Posted 5 years ago ( 2019/08/18 21:25:18 )

Water in living cells is under positive pressure to osmotic uptake of water

Report

Voltie Posted 5 years ago ( 2019/08/18 21:25:25 )

Protoplast (living part of cell and plasma membrane) presses against cell wall → turgor pressure
