Transport In Plants Question 17
Question: If the pressure potential is +0.16 megapascals (MPa) and the osmotic potential is -0.24 megapascals, then the water potential would be:
Options:
A) +0.4 MPa
B) +0.08 MPa
C) -0.08 MPa
D) +0.16 MPa
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
[c] The water potential is the sum of the osmotic potential (usually negative) and the pressure potential (usually positive), so W.P.
= - 0.24 + 0.16 = -0.08 mPa.
