front 1 water potential (Ψ) | back 1 measure of the potential energy in water to flow from an area of HIGH water potential to LOW water potential |
front 2 ionization constant (i) | back 2 the number of particles a solute dissociates into in water (total number of ions produced, or 1 for covalent compounds like sucrose and glucose) (Ψ) |
front 3 What is the ionization constant for ions? | back 3 total number of ions produced |
front 4 What is the ionization constant for covalent compounds like sucrose and glucose? | back 4 one |
front 5 pressure constant (R) | back 5 0.0831 [L*bars / mol*K] |
front 6 What is the pressure constant of an open container? | back 6 0.0831 (so just multiply by that) |
front 7 What does adding solute do to water potential? | back 7 it lowers it, as water is less likely to leave the solution and makes the solution more concentrated |
front 8 What does a more negative solute potential mean? | back 8 more solute molecules are present |
front 9 What does a high water potential mean? | back 9 a high concentration of water (low solute) |
front 10 Q10 | back 10 measure of temperature sensitivity of a physiological process or enzymatic reaction rate: Q10 = (k2 / k1)^10/T2-T1 |
front 11 Q10: T1 and T2 | back 11 temperature unit (make sure you are using the same one) |
front 12 Q10: k1 and k2 | back 12 reaction rates |
front 13 Q10: Q10 | back 13 no unit, factor by which the rate of a reaction increases due to a temperature increase |
front 14 high Q10 | back 14 more temperature dependent reaction |
front 15 Q10 of 1 | back 15 the reactions are temperature independent |
