Question
Chapter 36, Problem 9TYK
Summary Introduction
Introduction: The measure of potential energy in water is known as water potential and it initiates the movement of water through the plants. The water potential is also a difference between solute concentration and physical pressure.

There are many other types of membrane transport (as we learned from the Amoeba Sisters!), each with their role in maintaining homeostasis and providing energy, communication, and waste removal for the cell.
