Question

potato slices were placed in sucrose solution . after an hour density of sucrose solution increased .then water potential of potato tuber is less than solute potential of sucrose solution.is correct

Answer 1

Yes it is correct because water moves from high potential to lower potential in this case sucrose solution has higher potential and tomato slices has lower potential so what moves from solution into tomato slices due to this reason the concentration of water in the solution decreases so solution becomes more concentrated......since the mass of solute per unit volume increases so density of solution increases.........
