Question

Find the incorrect pair regarding movement of water molecules in plant body : A) Higher OP  Lower OP B) Hypotonic Hypertonic C) Less negative  More negative  1) A only 2) B only 3) C only 4) A, B and C

Answer 1

Answer:

Water moves from place having high water potential (less negative) to less water potential (more negative)

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

A is the only incorrect statement. Water molecules in a plant move from low osmotic to high osmotic pressure.

Step-by-step explanation:

Water molecules in a plant move from low osmotic to high osmotic pressure, not the other way around because the part where the concentration of water is more has higher vapour pressure and lower osmotic pressure while the part with more amount of solute has low vapour pressure and high osmotic pressure as water only flows from high to low vapour pressure that is why it always goes from high to low osmotic pressure.

Yes, water does flow from hypotonic to hypertonic solution as hypotonic has more concentration of water than hypertonic and water always flows from high concentration to low.

Water does move from less negative potential to more negative potential.
