Question
The two main components which determine water potential are(a) Solute potential(b) Pressure potential(c) Matric potential(d) Both (a) and (b)
Step 1
It is represented by the equation: \[ \Psi = \Psi_s + \Psi_p \] where: - \( \Psi \) is the total water potential, - \( \Psi_s \) is the solute potential, and - \( \Psi_p \) is the pressure potential. Show more…

Amount by which water potential is reduced due to presence of solute is called . A. Pressure potential B. Solute potential C. Matric potential D. None of the above
Water potential a. is the difference between the solute potential and the pressure potential. b. is analogous to the air pressure in an automobile tire. c. is the movement of water through a membrane. d. determines the direction of water movement between cells. e. is defined as 1.0 MPa for pure water under no applied pressure.
Water potential is the potential energy for water to move from one area to another. Water always moves from a high water potential area to a lower water potential area. According to the water potential formula, which factors affect the water potential? a) Speed and concentration b) Volume and temperature c) Pressure and the amount of solute d) Surface area and depth
