Question

The greater concentration of water in a system leads to _________

• A. increased transpiration
• B. increased solute potential
• C. hypertonic condition
• D. greater kinetic energy

Answer 1

Answer:

D. greater kinetic energy

• Increase in concentration of water in a system leads to increase in K.E and thereby the water potential of the plant.

• It reduces hypertonic solution and aim to achieve isotonic condition.

• It decreases the solute potential as the water content increases in comparison to solutes dissolved.

• Transpiration doesn’t depend on amount of water present in the system.
