Question

The CORRECT relationship between the components that determines water potential is:

• A. s=w+p
• B. s=w-p
• C. w=s+p
• D. w=s-p

Answer 1

Answer:

C. w=s+p

• Water potential is equal to osmotic potential + pressure potential.

• In case of flaccid cell: The turgor becomes zero.

• A cell at zero turgor has an osmotic potential equal to its water potential.
