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)

Water potential $({\Psi }_w)$ is the sum total of solute potential $({\Psi }_S)$ and pressure potential $({\Psi }_P)$ and is given by equation ${\Psi }_w={\Psi }_s+{\Psi }_p)$
