Osmotic potential, solute potential, osmotic pressure etcAre osmotic potential and solute potential terms which are used interchangeably? And is osmotic pressure potential part of the pressure potential when finding water potential?
Osmotic potential is actually solute potential, so the defination of both term is the same. The water potential of the cell must use the osmotic potential because:
water potential of the cell= osmotic potential multiply by wall pressure
I have a really important question--->
If compartment 1 had 2mM of NaCl and Compartment 2 had 10mM of sucrose solution which way would the water molecules move? would it go into compartment 1 b/c of the high to low thing or is it more complicated than that? Please Please Please help me with this its really important !
