In plant relations, Ψ indicates
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C Water potential
- Water potential is denoted by the Greek letter psi (Ψ) and is measured in bars. Thus, water potential is the chemical potential of water.
- By convention the water potential of pure water is given the value ZERO.
- Because pure water has the highest concentration of water molecules, and thus the highest water potential, the water potential of all other solutions must be lower than zero i.e., negative.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
