How does water always behave, in terms of water potential ?
Option: 1
Water potential does not impact water behavior.
Option: 2
Water always divides into areas of high and low potential but never mixes.
Option: 3
Water always moves from areas of low potential to areas of high potential.
Option: 4
Water always moves from areas of high potential to areas of low potential.
Answers (1)
Water Potential and Its Components -
- The concept of water potential was given by Slatyer and Taylor in 1960.
- The potential energy of water is called water potential. e.g., water is stored behind a dam.
- The term ‘water potential’ is used to describe the tendency of the water molecules to move from one place to another.
- Water moves from the region of high water potential to low water potential.
- Water potential of pure water is maximum which is taken as zero.
- Water potential of solutions is always less than zero, that is, they have negative water potential.
- Water potential is denoted by ψw
- It is measured in Mega Pascal (MPa).
