Which one of the following statements is wrong?
Options
- AWater potential is the chemical potential of the water
- BSolute potential is always negative
- CPressure potential is zero in a flaccid cell
- DWater potential equals solute potential in a fully turgid cell
Correct answer
D. Water potential equals solute potential in a fully turgid cell
Step-by-step solution
Water potential is the difference in the free energy or chemical potential per unit molal volume of water in a system and that of pure water at the same temperature and pressure. It is represented by greek letter (psi) or more accurately
Water potential or is the sum total of .
where solute potential
pressure potential
Water potential or is the sum total of .
where solute potential
