A. Water Relations of Cells
General Objective:
To examine the phenomena of transpiration and water
movement through plants.
The evidence:
Hydrogen

A. Water is Polar
The water molecule has a
positively-charged (H) side and
negatively-charged (O) side.
the hydrogen atoms are arranged at an
angle of about 105 degrees;
the molecule is tetrahedral-shaped.

III. The Properties of Water
A. Water is liquid at physiological temperatures
(i.e., between 0-1000C).
Hydronium Hydroxide
ion (H3O+) ion (OH–)
plant movements are the result of water moving into and out of
those parts (i.e., diurnal movements, stomatal opening, flower
opening)
