So my practical tomorrow is going to be about Deducing the Water Potential of Plant Tissues. With potato strips soaked in different concentration of salt solutions, we are suppose to plot a graph (percentage change in length of potato strips against the concentration of solution which is 0.2mol/dm3, 0.4, 0.6 & 0.8) and with the graph, deduce the water potential (in %) of the potato cells. Any clue how it shall be done?

u do the experiment and u will plot the graph. since u know that water will move either in or out when the water potential is different, it means that the length of the potato strip will change. thus u have to look at ur graph and find out the concentration where the potato strip will not decrease nor increase in length. that will be the concentration of the potato strip..
hope this helps(:

The water ability for a answer is often adverse. in spite of if this is a plant cellular or animal cellular, the two certainly one of them have protoplasm that's a answer. i.e, many solutes dissolved interior the water present in protoplasm.
