Question

if three cell x y and z are joint to each other and their solute potential and pressure values are given in the figure then demonstrate the direction of flow of water in this system

Answer 1

$\bf\large\underline\purple{Answer:-}$

Water potential in a system depends on the number of water molecules. Water always flows from high water potential to low water potential. We can calculate water potential in a system by the algebraic sum of solute potential and pressure potential. Thus water potential in cells X, Y and Z works out to be respectively -25, -10 and -15 units. This indicates the movement of water shall be from Y to X and Y to Z. From Z water shall flow to X.
