**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Water Potential**: Water potential is a measure of the potential energy in water, which determines the direction of water movement. It is denoted by the symbol Ψ (psi). 2. **Factors Affecting Water Potential**: Water potential is influenced by two main factors: - **Osmotic Potential (Ψs)**: This is the potential of water to move across a semipermeable membrane due to solute concentration. - **Pressure Potential (Ψp)**: This is the physical pressure on water, which can affect its movement. ...
