Chapter 37: Water and sugar transport in plants Water moves from areas of high water potential to areas of low water potential. Water’s potential energy in plants is a combination of (1) it’s tendency to move in response to differences in solute concentration and (2) the pressure exerted on it Plants do not expend energy to replace water that is lost to transpiration when stomata are open and photosynthesis is occurring. Instead‚ water moves from soil and roots to leaves long a water potential

It sets out the results of introductory work on the current structures as well as the potential options possible for future arrangements (AGMA‚ 2009). It is important to understand the role that the state plays in transport because the territorial governments are greatly involved in the ownership and management of all transport activities. The policies and strategies they adopt over a period
