Question:
what is difference and similiarity between solute potential and osmotic potential ?
Answer:
Decrease in in the amount of free energy of water molecule due to addition of solute in water is known as solute potential.
Osmotic potential is the potential of water molecules to move from a hypotonic solution to a hypertonic solution across a semi permeable membrane.
osmotic potential decreases with an increase in solute concentration.
