Summary Introduction
To review:
The function of solute potential and pressure potential in water potential.
Introduction:
Solute potential or osmotic potential is denoted by (ѱs). It is negative in a plant cell and zero in distilled water. The turgor potential, also called pressure potential, is denoted by (ѱp). It may be positive or negative. The water potential can be calculated as

What is water potential?
In a beaker of pure water, what is the water potential? Does water potential become more positive or more negative as you add solute to it? Put pressure on it? Add it to dry clay? Add acid to it? In each case, which water potential component is changing?
What is the solute potential of pure water when you move it from sea-level to 8,000 meters above sea-level?
