What is water potential?
How is it calculated?
At atmospheric pressure what is pressure
potential?
How is Solute potential calculated?
2. Determines movement of water, based on pressure
and solutes
W = Wp + Ws
Wp = 0
Ws = -iCRT
i = 1 for sucrose
C = molar concentration
R = 0.0831 Lbar/mol
T = Temp in Kelvin
