The water potential of interior plant 1 is: W = 8.314 * 313 / 18
* ln (0.95) = -7.42 units
The water potential exterior leaf plant 1: W=8.314 *298
/18 ln (.50) = -95.41
The water potential of interior plant 2 is W =8.314 * 298 / 18
ln (.95) = -6.85
The water potential of exterior plant 2 is: W = 8.314 * 298 / 18
* ln (0.80) =-30.71 units
From these results which of the two plants will experience a
higher rate of transpiration?
b. Compare the water potential values with one another to
explain your answer.
