plz solve the problem
Dear student
Water potential is defined as the potential energy of water in a system.
Solute potential (osmotic potential) pressure applied to a solution to prevent the inward flow of water across a semipermeable membrane.
Water potential is represented by the equation Ψsystem = Ψtotal = Ψs + Ψp + Ψg + Ψm.
Solute potential (Ψs) increases with decreasing solute concentration; an increase in Ψs causes a increase in the total water potential.
So option 1 would be correct.

Water potential is represented by the equation Ψsystem = Ψtotal = Ψs + Ψp + Ψg + Ψm.
where
- Ψs = solute potential
- Ψp, = pressure potential
- Ψg, = gravity potential
- Ψm = matric potential
Solute potential (Ψs) increases with decreasing solute concentration; an increase in Ψs causes a increase in the total water potential.
So option 1 would be correct.
