Water Potential Quiz

• The difference between the chemical potential of water in the system and the chemical potential of pure water under standard temp. and pressure (correct)
• The measure of the concentration of solutes in a solution
• The pressure exerted by water in a system
• The tendency of water molecules to move from a region of high kinetic energy to a region of low kinetic energy

• The measure of the concentration of water molecules in the solution
• The change in the Ψ value due to the contribution of dissolved solutes (correct)
• The tendency of solute molecules to move from a region of low concentration to a region of high concentration
• The pressure exerted by the dissolved solutes in the solution

• The Ψ value will remain unchanged
• The Ψ value will drop and become negative (correct)
• The Ψ value will increase proportionally to the amount of solutes added
• The Ψ value will become zero
