What is the relationship between solute potential and pressure potential?

What is the relationship between solute potential and pressure potential?
  1. Solute potential is equal to pressure potential
  2. Solute potential is greater than pressure potential
  3. Solute potential is less than pressure potential
  4. Solute potential and pressure potential have no relationship

Solution

Water potential of a cell is affected by both solute and pressure potential. The relationship between them is Ψw = Ψs + Ψp.
