Question { 3253 }

"Does Salt Affect the Growth of Plants?"

Answer

Plants conduct water from their roots, up the stem and into
the leaves. Salt around the roots reverses the flow of
moisture by drawing moisture out of the plant. Plants use
water and carbon dioxide to make carbohydrates using solar
energy. This is what photosynthesis is. As the water supply
decreases, photosynthesis decreases and the plant will
eventually die.

Question { 3691 }

what is water potential ?

Answer

Water potential is the potential energy of water relative
to pure free water (e.g. deionized water) in reference
conditions. It quantifies the tendency of water to move
from one area to another due to osmosis, gravity,
mechanical pressure, or matrix effects including surface
tension. Water potential is measured in units of pressure
and is commonly represented by the Greek letter Ψ (Psi).
This concept has proved especially useful in understanding
water movement within plants, animals, and soil.
