- - - - Moves water from soil to atmosphere
      - Major input of water cycle
    - - Potential for water to react or move
      - Due it it’s polarity
      - Attracted to other substances
      - Lower potential when it’s surrounded by ions
    - - Based on the free energy of water
      - Water moves from less negative water potentials to areas of more negative water potentials
    - - Three components of water potential
      - ψ = ψp + ψπ + ψm
        
        ψp = pressure potential:
        
        effect that pressure has on ψ
        
        If water is under pressure, both pressure potential and water potential increase.
        
        ψπ = osmotic potential:
        
        effect that solutes have on ψ
        
        Adding solutes decreases water’s free energy, so ψπ is always negative.
        
        ψm = matric potential:
        
        adhesion to structures such as cell walls, membranes, and soil particles
        
        Adhesion can only decrease water’s free energy, so ψm is always negative.
    - - Hydrostatic pressure exerted on water in a cell
      - In turgid plant cells positive value
      - Xylem cells negative pressure due to tension
    - - Difference between the solution and pure solvent resulted after adding solutes
    - - Adhesion of water molecules to nondissolved structures
      - Example, soil particles
      - Always negative
      - Significant only outside living systems in very dry soils
  - - - Stomata open shortly after daybreak
      - Close at times of stress
      - Close at night
    - - Open stomata
      - Water evaporates from intercellular spaces
      - Starts the domino effect of water potentials
    - - Water moves from hypotonic to hypertonic solutions
      - Root hairs greatly increase surface area
    - - Casparian strip of root endodermis
      - Forces symplastic movement
      - Embolism is an air pocket
        
        Completely makes tracheary element non functional
    - - As H2O diffuses out of xylem in the leaves, cohesive forces pull H2O upward through the xylem, all the way from the roots.
      - H2O in the uppermost tracheary elements must lift the weight of the entire H2O column.
      - Tension is on these molecules, and consequently, the pressure potential is a negative number.
    - - Cohesion due to water polarity
      - Adhesion along cell walls helps to fight gravity
  - - - Transport assimilate from areas where it’s made = sources
      - Materials moved to sinks
        
        Actively growing areas
        
        Storage areas
    - - Sugars transported as sucrose
      - Actively transported into sieve elements
      - Decreases water potential of STE
    - - Creates a water potential gradient between sieve tube elements and surrounding cells
    - - Phloem is always close to xylem #
      - Xylem has a much higher water potential than phloem
      - Water moves from less negative water potential to more negative water potential
    - - Sucrose actively transported from sieve tube
      - By companion cells
      - Stored as starch
      - Used in metabolism
        
        Aerobic respiration
    - - Water moves from root to atmosphere in a single direction
      - Assimilate moreves from source to closest sink
