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 ψ=ψ(p)+ψ(s).
