Further Theoretical Considerations of Modes of Expression and Factors Possibly Concerned in the Movement of Materials through a Two-phased Solution System.

As a means of expression and schematic representation of processes and influences effective in plant physiology, investigators from time to time have sought the best modes of presentation in accord with advance of knowledge through further facts. The present work is an attempt to evaluate our present modes of expression in the field of solvent and solute movement into plants and to consider further factors possibly involved in the flux. Throughout this discussion reference i-s made to the general relationship between the specific free energies and the partial molal free energies. This relationship is employed as before (2, 3, 4, 5) viz.,
