Question

Water potential is equal to

• A. $\pi$ + pressure potential
• B. $\pi$ + solute potential
• C. solute potential
• D. solute potential + pressure potential

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

solute potential + pressure potential

Answer 2

Water potential $(\Psi_w)$ is the sum total of solute potential $(\Psi_S)$ and pressure potential $(\Psi_P)$ and is given by equation $\Psi_w = \Psi_s + \Psi_p)$
