Chapter 36 - Transport in Plants
Be able to define or list the following:
 

transport proteins
 
mechanisms of solute uptake:

  • proton pumps
     
  • cations
     
  • anions
     
  • neutral solutes
     
cotransport
 
osmosis
 
water potential
 
effect of solutes on water potential
 
H2O movement in response to water potential
 
aquaporins
