Worked practice questions

**Water potential ($\psi$)** of pure water is:

  1. Zero (and adding solutes makes it negative)
  2. Always positive
  3. Equal to 1 atm
  4. Cannot be determined
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. Zero (and adding solutes makes it negative)

Water potential of pure water at STP = 0 by convention. Solutes lower it (more negative). Pressure (turgor) raises it. Water flows from high (less negative) to low (more negative) water potential.
