Question

The two chambers, A and B, containing solution are separated by a semipermeable membrane.

Which solution has a higher solute potential?

• A. A
• B. B
• C. Both has the same solute potential
• D. Cannot be determined

Answer 1

The correct option is A A

• Solute potential is also called as osmotic potential. It is the potential of a solution which allows the water to enter in it by diffusion or osmosis due to the presence of the solute material.
• Since solution A has higher solute concentration as compared to that in solution B, solution A has higher solute potential.

Thus, the correct answer is 'A.'
