If the ψ of air around a tree is -14 MPa, the ψ inside the stomata is -7 MPa, and the ψ of the xylem in the leaf is -5 MPa, will transpiration occur? Why or why not?
The water movement occur from high water potential to lower potential.
Now the water potential in the stomata is -7 and water potential in xylem is -5. It means water movement occurs from xylem to stomata.
Now water potential in air is -14MPa
It means water movement do not occur from stomata to outside the leaf. Because water potential is higher around air (-14) where as water potential in stomata of leaf (-5) is lower. As we know that loss of water in the form of water vapour from leaf to air is known as transpiration. That's why there is no transpiration occur.

How are the functions of stomata and guard cells related and what would be the consequence if those cells did not function property? Select one: a. Guard cells are responsible for opening and closing the stomata, and if the stomata did not function then gas exchange and transpiration will not occur through these cells b. Guard cells are responsible for opening and closing of the stomata, and if the guard cells did not function then gas exchange and transpiration will...

1. Water enters the constant 130-mm inside-diameter tubes of a boiler at 7 MPa and 65°C and leaves the tubes at 6 MPa and 450°C with a velocity of 80 m/s. Calculate the velocity of the water at the tube inlet and the inlet volume flow rate. [5-14] 2. Air enters a nozzle steadily at 50 psia, 140°F, and 150 ft/s and leaves at 14.7 psia and 900 ft/s. The heat loss from the nozzle is estimated to be 6.5...
Consider the attack tree shown below. The integer outside a circle represents the node ID and integer inside a circle represents the cost of an attack is attempted on the node. (1) Identify all the possible paths (i.e., the sequence of nodes in each path) for the attack tree. For clarity, label each path with a unique number. (8 marks) (2) For each of the paths identified, compute the cost for the attack leading to the root node Based on...

A rigid well insulated container holds 1 kg of dry air
at P1= 5 MPa.
5. A rigid well-insulated container holds 1 kg of dry saturated steam at P = 5 MPa. At some point in time, a tiny crack develops in the uppermost region of the container. Through this crack, some of the H2O escapes slowly into the atmosphere until the pressure inside the container falls to P2 = 1.5 MPa. This leakage process is slow enough so that...
. BB guns are typically air rifles employing compressed air in a small (1 cm3) cylinder to propel a projectile. The typical pressure inside the cylinder when the gun is ready to fire is around 1 MPa. The BBs have a mass of 5 g, and they act as the piston head as they are held by a pin (attached to the trigger). When the trigger is pulled, the pin is released and the air expands in an isothermal process...
