Water potential & fl

For 330 Water potential and flow, many from Taiz & Zeiger 2002

TermDefinition
Bulk flow Movement of groups of molecules en masse, most often in response to a pressure gradient; also referred to as , mass flow.
Capillarity Movement of water along a capillary tube due to surface tension; also known as caplary action.
Diffusion Net movement of particles from high to low concentration due to random thermal agitation.
Flaccid cell A plant cell having a turgor pressure near zero.
Hydrogen bonds Weak electrostatic attraction between water molecules.
Matric potential A component of water potential caused by the adhesion of water molecules to insoluble solids.
Osmosis Spontaneous net movement of solvent molecules through a semi-permeable membrane in the direction that tends to equalize the solute concentrations on the two sides
Osmotic potential The effect of dissolved solutes on water potential; also known as solute potential.
Pressure potential The positive hydrostatic pressure within cells; also referred to as turgor pressure
Selectively permeable Allows movement of water and other small uncharged substances more readily than the movement of larger solutes and charged substances; also known as semi-permeable.
Solvent Able to dissolve other substances.
Surface tension The attraction of molecules at the surface of a liquid.
Transpiration Water movement through stomata from plants to the atmosphere.
Turgid cell A swollen plant cell exerting positive pressure against the cell wall.
Turgor pressure Positive hydrostatic pressure within plant cells; also referred to as pressure potential.
Water potential The potential energy of water relative to pure water at standard conditions

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
