Water potential is equal to

  1. ψs + ψp
  2. ψs = T.P.
  3. ψp + ψw
  4. ψs + ψp

Correct answer: ψs = T.P.

Solution

Water potential (ψ) is the difference in potential energy per unit volume between a solvent (water) and a solution. It is equal to the osmotic potential (ψs) of the solution when it is in equilibrium with the surrounding environment, which is at atmospheric pressure (T.P.).
