The value for Ψ in root tissue was found to be -0.15 MPa. If you take the root tissue and place it in a 0.1 M solution of sucrose (Ψ = -0.23 MPa), the net water flow would ________.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Water moves from areas of higher water potential to areas of lower water potential. Since the water potential of the root tissue (-0.15 MPa) is higher than that of the sucrose solution (-0.23 MPa), water will flow from the tissue into the sucrose solution.
