Water movement is observed
(1) From high water potential to lower water potential
(2) From low solute potential to high solute potential
(3) From low pressure potential to high pressure potential
(4) From high solute concentration to low solute concentration
Water moves
(1) Down a gradient of solutes
(2) Down a gradient of free energy
(3) Above a gradient of water
(4) Above a gradient of pressure
Water potential is not
(1) Denoted by Greek symbol psi
(2) Expressed in pressure units such as Pascals (Pa)
(3) At standard temperature not under any pressure, is taken zero
(4) Always negative or zero
Solute Potential is the amount where
(1) Dissolution of a solute causes lowering of water potential
(2) Increase of solute causes increase of water potential
(3) Increase of solute causes decrease in osmotic pressure
(4) Increase of solute causes increase in solute potential
Find the correct one.
(1) All the solutes have lower water potential than pure water given that solution is under external pressure
(2) All the solutions have lower water potential than the pure water
(3) All the solutions have higher water potential than the pure water
(4) All the solutions have lower water potential than pure water unless solution is under such external pressure which is more than the solute potential
Solute potential is
(1) More when solute is more
(2) Less when solute is less
(3) Always negative
(4) All of these
For a solution at atmospheric pressure
(1) Solute potential is more than water potential
(2) Water potential more than solute potential
(3) Solute potential is less than water potential
(4) Water potential is equal to solute potential
Plants have
(1) Positive water potential when cells get turgor pressure
(2) Negative water potential when water is transported up a stem
(3) Negative pressure is developed in the cell dure to turgor pressure
(4) Both A and B
If the cell gets water from surroundings, now a certain pressure develops inside it against the wall is called as
(1) Turgor pressure
(2) Wall pressure
(3) Osmotic Pressure
(4) Solute pressure
Cell wall is
(1) Freelly permeable
(2) Impermeable
(3) Semipermeable
(4) Selectively permeable
