How does the presence of a higher concentration of solute outside a cell affect the water potential inside the cell?
It increases the water potential inside the cell.
It decreases the water potential inside the cell.
It has no effect on the water potential inside the cell.
It causes the cell to burst.
Explanation
A higher concentration of solute outside the cell makes the water potential of the environment outside the cell lower than the water potential inside the cell.
