Diagram 1 and diagram 2 show how the transverse section through a leaf changes when the leaf is moved from solution X to solution Y. [Diagram 1 and Diagram 2 showing leaf sections in solutions X and Y] Which row describes the water potential of the leaf cells and surrounding solutions in diagram 2 compared with diagram 1?
This question uses a diagram from the original paper, which isn't shown here. Open the full paper from the past papers archive to see it.
Awater potential of leaf cells in diagram 2 compared with water potential of leaf cells in diagram 1: less negative
water potential of solution Y compared with water potential of solution X: less negative
Bwater potential of leaf cells in diagram 2 compared with water potential of leaf cells in diagram 1: less negative
water potential of solution Y compared with water potential of solution X: more negative
Cwater potential of leaf cells in diagram 2 compared with water potential of leaf cells in diagram 1: more negative
water potential of solution Y compared with water potential of solution X: less negative
Dwater potential of leaf cells in diagram 2 compared with water potential of leaf cells in diagram 1: more negative
water potential of solution Y compared with water potential of solution X: more negative
✓ Correct answer
A: water potential of leaf cells in diagram 2 compared with water potential of leaf cells in diagram 1: less negative water potential of solution Y compared with water potential of solution X: less negative
