What is solute potential negative? Explain `psi_(w)=psi_(s)+psi_(p)`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Water potential of pure water is taken as zero. Addition of solute particles reduces water potential. Therefore, solute potential is always less than zero is negative.
`psi_(w)=psi_(s)+psi_(p)`.
`psi_(w)=` Water potential `psi_(s)=` Solute potential, `psi_(p)=` Pressure potential (Turgor pressure)
