Question

If the water potential of pure water is equal to zero, what does it mean?
A. Water with solutes
B. Water contains solutes and gases
C. Water without solutes
D. Water with organic sugars
E. Water with inorganic sugars
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. A only
• B. C only
• C. B and D only
• D. E only

Hint:

Water potential: \(\Psi = \Psi_s + \Psi_p\).
Pure water has \(\Psi = 0\).
Solute addition makes \(\Psi\) negative.

Answer 1
