      Question

      The natural consequence of a more negative water

      potential in plant is:
      A Decreased water uptake Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Increased water uptake Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C No uptake of water Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Lateral water uptake Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Water moves from areas of higher water potential to areas of lower water potential, driven by osmosis. Therefore, when the water potential in the plant becomes more negative (lower), it creates a gradient that promotes the uptake of water from the soil or surrounding environment to the plant cells.
