In a _ solution solute and pressure potentials are equal to water potential.

Correct answer: B. Isotonic

  • A. Hyperplasmic
  • B. Isotonic
  • C. Hipertonic
  • D. Hypotonic

Explanation

In an isotonic solution, the solute potential and pressure potential are equal to the water potential. An isotonic solution has the same concentration of solutes as the solution inside the cell, resulting in no net movement of water. As a result, the water potential inside the cell is equal to the water potential outside the cell.
