Question

Which of the following is NOT the component of water potential answer
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Water potential is the difference between free energy of water molecules in pure form and energy of water in the solution. The three major factors that influence water potential are solute concentration, atmospheric pressure and gravity. Thus, The correct option is D.

Answer 2

Answer:

Water potential may be defined as the potential energy of the water in ajy kind of device relative to pure water, as both the temperature and pressure are preserved in this whole process. Water potential can also be defined as a measure of how free molecules of water may move in a given environment or device.

Explanation:

Water potential is the difference between the free energy of water molecules in a pure solvent and free energy of water molecules in any given solution. Solute potential (Ψs) and pressure potential (Ψp) are the two main components that determine water potential.

The potential energy is due to number of molecules of water present in a system. More the number of molecules, more will be the potential energy. The term used to denote this energy is water potential i.e., potential to do work due to water molecules.
