What is the relationship between water potential, solute potential and pressure potential?

What is the relationship between water potential, solute potential and pressure potential?
  1. Ψw = Ψs - Ψp
  2. Ψw = Ψp - Ψs
  3. Ψw = Ψs + Ψp
  4. Ψw = Ψs x Ψp

Solution

The water potential of a cell is affected by both solute and pressure potential and the relationship between them is given by Ψw = Ψs + Ψp. This means that the water potential of a cell is equal to the sum of solute potential and pressure potential.
