Biology

(a)The total water potential of an algal cell is -1.7MPa andsolute potential within the cell is -2.6 MPa. The algal cell isplaced in a large volume of 0.95 Molar sucrose solution at 20celcius. will the water potential of the algal cell change? If so,what will be the new water potential? If solute potential does notchange , what will be the new pressure potential?

(B) After the algal cell had equilibrated to the 0.95 Molarsucrose solution, it was then transferred to a larger volume of a0.4 Molar NaCl solution at 30 celcius.What will be the new waterpotential of the algal cell after equilibrium? If solute potentialdoes not change,, what will be the new pressure potential?
