Question

The increased glucose level in the blood decreases the

• A. Water potential
• B. Solute potential
• C. Both A and B
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Both A and B

An increased glucose level in blood increases the solute concentration which decreases the solute potential which is the pressure that must be applied to a solution to prevent the inward flow of water through a semipermeable membrane and thus decreases the total water potential.

So, the correct answer is option C.
