WHAT THE HELL !!!!!!!!!!!!

for all the people taking biology AS (cie)
check question 25 in nov 03
and check question 27 in jun 08
they are the same question!!
so.....
am i imagining or do they have different answers in their mark schemes

You do understand that there is a difference between solute concentration & solute potential, correct?

yea basically when we are considering solute conc the more the solute the greater conc.......
HOWEVER
its different for solute potential
u obviously noe distilled water has water potential of 0 and water potential is solute potential + pressure potential.........now here we have no pressure so water pot.= sol pot......which is 0......rite now as u can see the less the solute the higher the value of solute potential......so when we consider solute potential....... there is more solute so  solute potential will be more negative and the value is low

hope it helps 
thx

ohhh, my bad i must have misread the question !!!
