Question

Which potential is considered of negligible value?

• A. Water potential
• B. Matrix potential
• C. Solute potential
• D. Pressure potential

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Matrix potential

• Matrix potential is the energy developed due the attachment of water with non-dissolved solutes such as soil.

• It is of negligible value whereas Water potential is the ultimate energy and Solute potential and Pressure potential are important components of water potential.
