Water potential of actively absorbing cells is:

1. always +ve
2. always –ve
3. always 0
4. always > 1

Correct answer: always –ve

Solution

Actively absorbing cells contain dissolved solutes, which lower their water potential below that of pure water. A lower water potential means it is negative relative to zero for pure water.
