Question

Water potential is maximum in case of

• A. Pure water
• B. 2% glucose
• C. 10% glucose
• D. 10% NaCl

Answer 1

The correct option is A Pure water

Water potential is the tendency of water to move from one place to another place. As pure water does not have any viscosity and any type of solute so no solute potential also which can oppose it. Hence water potential of water is maximum which is zero. All other solutions have water potential in negative values.

So, the correct answer is 'Pure water'.
