Answer 1

Answer:

C option .....................

Answer 2

Water potential is equal to osmotic potential in cells and is equal to zero in (B) Turgid cells & Flaccid cells.

About Water potential:

• When both temperature and pressure are maintained in the same manner, water potential is the potential energy of the water in a device compared to pure water.
• This may alternatively be explained as a measurement of how freely moving water molecules may be in a certain setting or apparatus.
• The quantity of free water molecules is measured by water potential.
• It measures how likely these molecules are to disperse to a different location.
• The Water Potential increases with the number of free water molecules.
• Because the water potential and pressure potential inside a flaccid cell are identical, the pressure potential of a flaccid cell is often zero.
• As a result, a flaccid cell would have zero pressure potential.

About osmotic pressure:

• When a semipermeable membrane separates a solution from pure water, the pressure that must be supplied to the solution side to cease fluid flow is known as osmotic pressure.
• The osmotic pressure is the least amount of pressure that must be applied to a solution in order to block the passage of the solution's pure solvent through a semipermeable membrane.
• It may alternatively be described as a measurement of a solution's propensity to osmotically absorb a pure solvent.
