So the water passed through the membrane from the water side to the solution side. Actually, water passes through the membrane in both directions but it moves faster intothe solution than outof it.
23. Salt is a solute, when it is concentrated inside or outside the cell, it will draw the water in its direction. This is also why you get thirsty after eating something salty
42. Mechanisms for the Transport of Water up the Xylem
Capillarity
Root Pressure
Cohesion-Tension
43. Capillarity
Water rises up narrow tubes due to the adhesive forces between the water molecules and the wall of the tube
Xylem vessels are very narrow
Water rises higher in narrower tubes
1.Water will only rise 50mm
2.The flow rate is slower than the rate observed in xylem
Limitations
