The movment of water progressively from less negative water potential in the roots to more negative water potential in the atmosphere is mostly due to ____
|
|
adhesion
|
|
|
osmosis
|
|
|
transpiration
|
|
|
vessel elements
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Final answer: Osmosis is the flow of water molecules from the region of higher water potential to the region of lower water potential through a semi-permeable membrane.
Detailed explanation-2: -Osmotic potential is measured in bars or megaPascals. In this example, water will move into the cell because it has the more negative osmotic potential. Water no longer moves into the cell when the water potential inside and outside are at equilibrium (-5 bars).
