The physiоlоgy оf аnimаls аnd plants obey physical laws. As such, the water potential determines the passive flow of water. 1. FOR A FRESHWATER FISH: a. Describe the difference in water potential between the fish and its watery environment (in terms of relative osmolarity); include the passive flow of water between the fish and its environment. b. Describe at least one way the freshwater fish maintains osmotic homeostasis. 2. FOR A PLANT: a. Describe the difference in water potential (high vs. low) between the soil and the atmosphere on a sunny warm day after a rainstorm (so not too hot) when the plant is photosynthesizing. b. Use the words stomata, cohesion, adhesion, and tension to describe water transport in the xylem of a plant.
