Statement A: Osmotic pressure is negative. Statement B: Osmotic potential is also negative.

Statement A: Osmotic pressure is negative. Statement B: Osmotic potential is also negative. Correct Answer Statement B is true but Statement A is false

Osmotic pressure is the pressure required to prevent diffusion of water in and out of the membrane. Osmotic potential is the energy required to carry out the process of osmosis. Both are numerically same but osmotic pressure is positive while osmotic potential is negative. They depend on the solute concentration.
