Question
The higher solute potential in the leaf increases
The higher solute potential in the leaf increases
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is B Transpirational pull
The water potential in the leaf of the plant is lower when compared to the water potential in the soil. This allows the movement of water from the soil to the leaf of the plant. The solute potential is inversely proportional to water potential. The solute potential in the leaf or plant cell is high. This results in upward movement of water. Thus, there is an increase in the transpiration pull. The correct answer is option B.
