Question
9. In the leaf mesophyll, the retreating hydration shell establishes a water potential gradient between the hydration shell and the interiors of leaf mesophyll cells. This water potential gradient compels osmosis through from the (select the best answer) a. b. c. d. e. f. apoplasts; hydration shell to the interiors of leaf mesophyll cells apoplasts; interiors of leaf mesophyll cells to hydration shell aquaporins; hydration shell to the interiors of leaf mesophyll cells aquaporins; interiors of leaf mesophyll cells to hydration shell phospholipids; hydration shell to the interiors of leaf mesophyll cells phospholipids; interiors of leaf mesophyll cells to hydration shell Hydration shell is the layer of water film that encapsulates cells in the leaf mesophyl.Explanation / Answer
A)
The hydration shell comples osmosis through apoplast;hydration shell to the interior of leaf mesophyll cells.
The osmosis only occur when their is water potential difference between them.This hydration shell have high water potential due to higher water molecules which are free and not attached to any surface this leads to the transport of water through the apoplast surface to the interior of mesophyll cells where the water potential in less.
