    Which of the following is the unit of measurement of water potential?

    A)  Watts                                  

    B)  Joule

    C)  Pascal                                  

    D)  Litre

    E)  Cubic centimeter

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    Water potential is the difference in the free energy or chemical potential per unit molal volume of water in a system and that of pure water at the same temperature and pressure. It is represented by Greek letter\[\psi \](Psi) or\[{{\psi }_{w}}\]. The Value of \[{{\psi }_{w}}\]is measured in bars, pascals or atmospheres ie, units for power. Joule is the unit for energy or work. Litre and cubic centimetre are used for volume measurements.
