Potato slices were placed in sucrose solution . After half an hour, density of sucrose solution increased . Water potential of Pototo tuber is

A

Equal to solute potential of sucrose solution

B

Greater then sloute potential of sucrose solutioin

C

Less then solute potential of sucrose solution

D

Half the concentration of sucrose solution

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Water potential `Psi_(omega)` and solute potential `Psi_(s)` have nagative values (less then zero ). Hero less means more negative (higher D.P.D. and higher osmotic pressure) and more means less negative (lower D.P.D. and low osmotic pressure ).
