Question

What is the value of water potential of flaccid cell when osmotic potential value of it is -5 bars?
(A) O bars
(B) -5 bars
(C) +5 bars
(D) 10 bars​

Answer 1

Answer:

(C) +5 bars

Explanation:

What is the value of water potential of flaccid cell when osmotic potential value of it is -5 bars?

(A) O bars

(B) -5 bars

(C) +5 bars

(D) 10 bars

Answer 2

Answer:

B)-5 bars

Explanation:

In case of flaccid cell, the turgor pressure becomes zero. There is no pressure exerted by the protoplast on the cell wall so the pressure potential of the cell will be zero. A cell at zero turgor has an osmotic potential equal to its water potential. Therefore, the water potential of the flaccid cell is

-5 bars
