Transport processes

Diffusion, osmosis & active transport
Water potential
water potential
The chemical potential of water, a measure of the ability of a substance to absorb or release water relative to another substance
Pressure potential
A component of water potential, a measure of the effect of pressure or tension on a substances ability to absorb or release water
-
Osmotic potential
A component of water potential, a measure of the effect of solute particles on a substances ability to absorb or release water
Diffusion
The random motion of particles from regions of higher concentrations to regions of lower concentration
-
-
Active transport
The forced pumping of molecules from one side of a membrane to the other by means of molecular pumps located in the membrane

Long distance transport: Xylem
Cohesive
In water transport, water is described as cohesive because water molecules stick to any molecules capable of forming hydrogen bonds
Adhesive
In water transport, water is described as adhesive because water molecules stick to other water molecules
