How does a flaccid cell differ from a turgid cell? water potential () can be thought of as the tendency for water to move from one place to another. in plants, it is made up mainly of solute potential and pressure potential. hypothetical plant cells a and b are adjacent to each other. the solute potential (s) of cell a is 0.35 mpa, and its pressure potential (p) is +0.15 mpa. the solute potential (s) of cell b is 0.30 mpa, and its pressure potential (p) is +0.05 mpa. in which direction will net water movement occur?

Acommon technique in analysis of scientific data is normalization. the purpose of normalizing data is to eliminate irrelevant constants that can obscure the salient features of the data. the goal of this experiment is to test the hypothesis that the flux of light decreases as the square of the distance from the source. in this case, the absolute value of the voltage measured by the photometer is irrelevant; only the relative value conveys useful information. suppose that in part 2.2.2 of the experiment, students obtain a signal value of 162 mv at a distance of 4 cm and a value of 86 mv at a distance of 5.7 cm. normalize the students' data to the value obtained at 4 cm. (divide the signal value by 162.) then calculate the theoretically expected (normalized) value at 5.7 cm.
