The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Water Potential**: Water potential is a measure of the potential energy in water, which influences the movement of water within a system. It is crucial for understanding how water moves in plants and other biological systems. 2. **Denotation of Water Potential**: Water potential is denoted by the Greek letter Psi (Ψ). This symbol is widely used in scientific literature to represent water potential. 3. **Units of Measurement**: Water potential is measured in pressure units. The standard unit for measuring pressure is the Pascal (Pa). 4. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the answer to the question is: - (i) Water potential is denoted by the letter Psi (Ψ). - (ii) Water potential is measured in pressure units such as Pascals (Pa). ---
