Question:
The water potential of pure water is:
The water potential of pure water is:
Show Hint
Water potential decreases with the addition of solutes, becoming more negative.
Updated On: Dec 26, 2024
- One
- More than one
- Zero
- Less than zero
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Water potential (Ψ) is the measure of potential energy in water and its ability to move.
Pure water at standard conditions has a water potential of zero.
The addition of solutes decreases the water potential, making it negative, while pressure increases it.
Pure water at standard conditions has a water potential of zero.
The addition of solutes decreases the water potential, making it negative, while pressure increases it.
