How do you calculate solute potential?
ability of a medium to attract water molecules is known as osmotic potential. you may also label it as osmotic potential. at a time a system has more water potential and low solute potential and vice versa.
The movement of the water across a membrane is termed?
The term used is osmosis. the direction of movement across the membrane is dependent on the concentration of solutes (known as the solute potential) which directly effects the osmotic potential.
Why do a leafs stomata open and close?
Changes in the osmotic potential of gaurd cells make that stomata open or closed
Which unit of measure is used to indicate Ecell?
The unit of measure used to indicate Ecell, which is the cell potential or electromotive force of a cell, is volts (V).
What is the name of the scale used to rank hurricane and measure their damage potential?
The Saffir-Simpson scale.
Why do you measure root pressure?
To take note of osmotic potential of cells in that root
Is solute potential same as osmotic potential?
yep!

What is matric potential?
Matric potential is the sum of: Osmotic Potential(φs) + Hydrostatic Pressure(φp). Matric potential useful because there are some situations where it is difficult to distinguish between the measurements of Osmotic Potential(φs) and Hydrostatic Pressure(φp).
What does an osmometer measure?
Osmotic pressure
What is used to measure potential difference?
A Volt meter is used to measure potential difference (a.k.a. voltage). Potential difference is measured in units called: Volts (V).
What does the vacuole do in the cell of a plant?
It maintains the osmotic potential of the cell
Is it good to grow plants in distilled water?
no. all things being equal and if the nutrients in the soil did not interact with the distilled water then distilled water has a lower osmotic potential than the cell sap in the roots; this would result in reverse osmosis from the roots (higher osmotic potential) to the soil (lower osmotic potential).
What do we call 2 solutions that have the same water potential?
Iso-osmotic or isosmotic
The movement of the water across a membrane is termed?
The term used is osmosis. the direction of movement across the membrane is dependent on the concentration of solutes (known as the solute potential) which directly effects the osmotic potential.
What is the unit used to measure electric potential?
volt (V)
Which of these is used to measure potential difference in parallel circuits?
voltmeter
