- Water potential
- Pressure exerted by molecules when colliding with container.
- Measured in pascals
- All solutions have negative water potentials
- Closed system- hydrostatic pressure
- Cell bursts when can't stand the pressure
- Cytolsis
- Cells surrounded by aqueous solution to prevent from bursting
- Plants
- Cell wall
- Turgor pressure increases so entry of water is resisted
- Water lost from cells by osmosis
