QUESTION 1 Water potential is the pressure exerted by freely moving water molecules in a system. Describe the relationship between water potential with solute potential and pressure potential in plants. Plant cell P has a solute potential of-350 kPa and a pressure potential of 200 kPa. Besides, is plant cell Q which has a solute potential of -500 kPa and a pressure potential of 200 kPa. Determine the direction of net movement of water between the two cells by using the water potential equation. Explain the characteristics of water that make it such an important medium for life. If an athlete was heavily perspiring after an intense match game, suggest one type of replacement drink (with explanation) that he should take between hypertonic, isotonic and hypotonic drink to recover himself.

Imagine a cell with a water potential of –0.1 MPa being placed in a beaker of solution that also has a water potential of –0.1 MPa. Are the two water potentials in equilibrium? Would any water molecules be moving between the cell and the solution? Would there be a net movement of water? Now imagine a root in moist soil, and imagine that the root cortex cells have a water potential of –0.1 MPa and that the soil solution also has a water potential of –0.1 MPa. Would there be any net movement of water into the root?
