Question

Find incorrect statements related to water relations in plants: 
A. Water potential difference is the drawing force for osmosis. 
B. The driving force of diffusion is the concentration gradient. 
C. Pressure potential is negative.

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. B,C

Hint:

Review the definitions and implications of water potential, diffusion, and pressure potential to understand their roles in plant physiology.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Analyzing each statement. 
Statement A is correct as osmosis is driven by a difference in water potential.
Statement B is also correct; diffusion indeed occurs due to a concentration gradient.
Statement C is generally incorrect as pressure potential in plant cells is typically positive due to turgor pressure, though it can become negative under severe water stress.
