The value for Ψ in root tissue was found to be -3.3 bars. If you take the root tissue and place it in a 0.1 M solution of sucrose at 20 ° C in an open beaker, what is the Ψ of the solution, and in which direction would the net flow of water be?
Ψs = -3.3, net flow into the root
Ψs = 3.3, net flow out of the root (into the solution)
Ψs = -2.43, net flow into the root
Ψs = 2.43, net flow out of the root (into the solution)
NaCl dissociates into 2 particles in water: Na+ and Cl-. If a solution in an open beaker contained 0.1M NaCl at 20 ° C, what is the Ψ of the solution, and in which direction would the net flow of water be?
