solute potential- blue

how does water move in terms of water potential

from areas of higher water potential(less negative) to lower water potential(more negative)

what is the pressure potential in an open system

0- no need to factor into the equation

what does adding solute do

lowers water potential by making the solute potential more negative

what does adding pressure do

increases water potential because pressure potential is postive

if water potential is higher outside than inside, where will the water move

into the cell

if water potential is higher inside than outside, where will the water move

out of the cell

if water potential is equal, where will the water move

nowhere-no net movement-system at equilibrium

when calculating tonicity, what should you factor

any solute that is not permeable to the membrane- if a solute is permeable, it should be thought of as water because it can freely flow
