WATER POTENTIAL+PYQS

Osmotic potential is independent of:

Nature of solute (B) is correct here. This is core WATER POTENTIAL: once you know the definition or pathway step, Nature of solute is the clear fit. The wrong ones are A) Solute concentration; C) Temperature; D) Pressure. If the topic is about gradients or potentials, water/solutes move from higher to lower of the relevant quantity.

WATER POTENTIAL+PYQS

Solute potential (Ψs) is always:

The right choice is C: Negative. In WATER POTENTIAL, that matches how the process or concept actually works — the other choices mix up related ideas or use the wrong mechanism. Skip these: A) Positive; B) Zero; D) Equal to Ψp. A quick check: if an option needs energy, pumps, or the opposite direction of movement, ask whether that really applies.
