Which potential is considered of negligible value?(a) Water potential(b) Matrix potential(c) Solute potential(d) Pressure potentialThe question was asked in an interview.Query is from Plant-Water Relations-1 topic in section Transport in Plants of Biology – Class 11

Answer»

Correct choice is (b) MATRIX potential

The best I can explain: Matrix potential is the ENERGY developed due the attachment of water with non-dissolved SOLUTES such as soil. It is of negligible value whereas Water potential is the ultimate energy and Solute potential and PRESSURE potential are important components of water potential.
