Assertion(A): Pure water will always have zero water potential.
Reason(R): The greater the concentration of water in a system, the greater is its kinetic energy or ‘water potential’.
Choices for Assertions and reasons:
1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

Assertion(A): All solutions have a lower water potential than pure water.
Reason(R): Addition of solutes leads to lowering in free water molecules and the concentration (free energy) of water decreases, reducing its water potential.
Choices for Assertions and reasons:
1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
