Question

4. Osmotic potential refers to
a. movement of water molecules from hypotonic solution to hypertonic solution
b. movement of water molecules from hypertonic solution to hypotonic solution
c. pressure potential
d. movement of water molecules from hypotonic to isotonic solution​

Answer 1

Answer:

Definition. noun. (1) The potential of water molecules to move from a hypotonic solution (more water, less solutes) to a hypertonic solution (less water, more solutes) across a semi permeable membrane.

Answer 2

Answer:

1) movement of water molecules from hypotonic solution to hypertonic solution

Explanation:

Osmotic potential is defined as decrease in the chemical potential of water on addition of solute to it. It is negative as it acts opposite to the positive pressure like turgor pressure and osmotic pressure. The increase in the osmotic potential of water makes it osmotically active. So it withdraws water.
