(b) The water potential ( Therefore, water potential ( Water potential of cell-B( Since, water moves from higher water potential, the flow of water will be from cell-A (-10 bars) to cell-B (-12 bars). |
) is equal to osmotic potential (
) + pressure potential (
). Osmotic potential is always in negative value. The water potential is the chemical potential of water, which is equivalent to DPD with negative sign.
) of cell-A is
=-18+8=-10
) is
=-14+2=-12
