Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

Recall that: <em>Water potential = pressure potential + solute potential</em>

Since the system is an open one;

<em>Water potential = solute potential = -iCRT</em>

i = number of particles the molecle will make in water (1)

C = molar concentration

R = Pressure constant = 0.0831 liter bar/mole K

T = temperature in kelvin = 22 + 273 = 295 K

To calculate water potential on side A:

C = 1 M

Water potential = - (1 x 1 x 0.0831 x 295) = -24.51 bars

For side B:

C = 2 M

Water potential = - (1 x 2 x 0.0831 x 295) = -49.03 bars

b.

<em>Since side A has higher water potential than side B, water will flow from side A to side B until equilibrium is established between the two sides. Water always flows from the region of higher water potential to the region of lower water potential.</em>

Photosynthesis is the main method by which primary production takes place in an ecosystem. What abiotic factor is a beneficial b
iris [78.8K]

Oxygen is an abiotic factor that is beneficial by-product of primary production.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The non living parts of an ecosystem that mainly affects the living organisms in it are called as an abiotic factor. These can include soil, temperature, water, oxygen and sunlight. The major energy source in earth is Oxygen which is abiotic factor.

It is very essential for the photosynthesis process to take place. Here, the plants converts water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and sugar. This becomes food for plants. Then these plants are eaten by animals. Thus oxygen is an important and beneficial by-product of photosynthesis. Oxygen is also very important for the survival of human beings.
