Explain the role of water potential in the movement of water from soil

Biology

It's been a while, but I think I can answer this. Concentration gradients tend to shift from high concentration to lower concentrations for equilibrium. So if the water potential is more in the soil and plant, but less in the air, water will want to travel from the soil, through the plant into the air. 

<span>Water evaporates into the atmosphere through the means of transpiration. As the water evaporates, it tends to pull more water molecules up along the xylem. This is known as transpiration pull, where because of surface tension of water and capillary action, water is pulled up along the xylem due to transpiration. This is not the only mechanism of water movement in plants however. </span>

<span>Anyways, from the example of transpiration pull, you can see the role of water potential as the water potential in the soil, being high, flows through the plant, and into the air.</span>

Heat moves from this source by convection and radiation
marta [7]

Answer:

In CONVECTION, heat energy is carried by the movement of particles of matter. In CONDUCTION, heat is transferred by particles vibrating. In RADIATION, heat is carried directly by electromagnetic waves. When a hot object touches a cool object, heat moves from the hot one to the cool one.

Explain why using different seed types along with different water temperatures is an improper experimental design.
Darya [45]

Answer:

Because each subject in an experiment has to have equal conditions to ensure the most accurate results. And water temperature is known to impact plant growth. An experiment using different water temperatures is a terribly inaccurate experiment.

Epinephrine acts as a signal molecules that attaches to ____ proteins.
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

G-protein-linked receptor

Explanation:

Epinephrine acts via G-protein-linked receptors. The heterotrimeric G proteins located within the cell are activated by G protein-coupled receptors that span the cell membrane. Signaling molecules bind to a domain on the GPCR located outside the cell, and an intracellular GPCR domain then in turn activates a particular G protein.
