The water potential and osmotic potential of pure water are:
Correct answer: B. zero and 100
- A. 100 and 200
- B. zero and 100
- C. 100 and zero
- D. zero and zero
Explanation
Water potential of pure water is always 0, as it is the reference point for comparison. Osmotic potential of pure water is 100, because pure water has the maximum ability to do work by moving into a solution against its concentration gradient. So correct option is B.

About Circulation
The circulatory system covers the chambers, valves and conducting pathway of the human heart, along with the cardiac cycle and control of heartbeat. It compares arteries, veins and capillaries by structure and function, and explains how the lymphatic system returns tissue fluid, transports absorbed fats and supports immunity.
