49.Addition of more solutes in a given solution will: A. Lower its water potential B. Make its water potential zero C. Not affect the water potential at all D. Raise it’s water potential
Option A Water potential (denoted by symbol psi) of pure water is maximum and its value is zero. Whenever some solute is dissolved in pure water or a solution there is a decrease in water potential. Water potential of all solutions is negative. Water flows from a region of higher water potential to a region of lower water potential, because a region having higher water potential has more number of water molecules as compared to the region having lesser water potential.
