Explore how proton pumps generate membrane potential, aquaporins transport water molecules, and K+ controls stomata opening/closing in plants, with a focus on transport mechanisms in different environmental conditions and pathways. Learn about the significance of the Casparian strip and symplast pathway for water movement in plants.
