If a plant cell is placed in deionised water, the water potential of that cell becomes ___________________________.

• A. More positive because pressure potential becomes more positive
• B. More positive because pressure potential becomes more negative
• C. More negative because pressure potential becomes more negative
• D. Less negative because pressure potential becomes more positive

Answer 1

The correct option is C More negative because pressure potential becomes more negative

If a plant cell is placed in deionised water will enter the cell and the cell will burst, the water potential also becomes negative.

So, the correct option is 'More negative because pressure potential becomes more negative'
