Water potential is the Potential_energyof Waterper unit volume relative to pure water in reference conditions. Water potential quantifies the tendency of water to move from one area to another due to Osmosis, Gravity, mechanical Pressure, or matrix effects such as Surface_tension. Water potential has proved especially useful in understanding water movement within Plants, Animals, and Soil. Water potential is typically expressed in potential energy per unit volume and very often is represented by the Greek letter Ψ.

Why can plants withstand the increased amount of water that may flow inside their cells?

Because plants have a higher absorbtion rate of water


How the plants increased rainfall?

Plants observe the water from the soil through the roots. extra amount of water will be evaporated through leaves in the form of water vapour in to the atmosphere


Can a horticulturist grow a large healthy plant by increasing the amount of light the plants receive each day?

Yes, but not exlusively by increasing the amount and duration of light; Plants need nutrients and water as well, to be healthy, and probably in increased amounts along with the increased amounts of light, since more light means more growing activity.


What is the effect of continuousrain on the plants?

the plants must not absorbe a lot amount of water and thus it leads to death of the plant.the plants also need only a certain amount of water.


What is the dependant variable the height of bean plants depends on the amount of water they receive?

In this experiment, the dependent variable is the height of the bean plants. This is because the height is what you measure in response to changes in the independent variable, which is the amount of water the plants receive. As the amount of water varies, you observe how it affects the growth and height of the plants.


What has the greatest affect on the quality of groundwater?

One factor would be the amount of rainfall in the area. If not a lot of water would rain in a specific area than the ground water amount would be very low, and if there were a lot of rain in the area the water amount would be high. Another factor could be the amount of plants in the area. If there were little plants in the area, the plants would suck up the water but not very much of it. But if it was an area with a lot of plants, the plants would suck up a big amount of water.


Does water affect plants?

yeah. But with the correct amount of sunlight.


Do plants give off a small amount of water?

yes


What is the process by which plants liberated out the excess amount of water?

tanspiration


Does increased amount of water results in increased pressure?

If the system contain water and gas above it and is closed, no. Only the time to get an equilibrium pressure may shorten


Why are plants affected by additives in water?

because it can not take that much amount of waterBecause the roots absorb water and whatevers in it which affects the plants growth


Why is sand bad for plants?

Sand drains much more readily than those with clay and organic matter. This means the plant does not get as much water in sandy soil. Neither does sand contain many nutrients. Typically, plants that grow naturallyin sandy soil can withstand low levels of both water and nutrients. Often sands can be acidic, and can become non-wetting, which further reduces the amount of available water.
