Answer:

Cell Z has the greatest solute concentration

Explanation:

  • The water moves from higher potential to lower potential.
  • More the solute concentration in solution the lower will be water potential.
  • External mechanical pressure increases the water potential.

Cell Z has more solute concentration, So it require more external pressure to equalize its internal water potential with external water potential for stopping the movement of water from high potential to lower potential.

<em>Remember the maximum potential of water is zero at standard temperature and pressure.</em>

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

Given that a colorimeter is an instrument used for chemical analysis by comparing a liquid’s color with standard colors. In an experiment, a scientist used two calorimeters and noted the readings. The first colorimeter showed consistent readings that were five points lower than the actual reading. The second colorimeter provided readings that were the same as the actual reading.

Though consistent, the first colorimeter has a zero error of -5.

Hence whenever first calorimeter is used this adjustment to be made i.e. actual reading +5 should be made to get correct reading

But second can be used as such taking the reading as correct.
