    The modified equation for water potential is

    A) \[{{\psi }_{w}}={{\psi }_{s}}+{{\psi }_{\rho }}\]

    B)  \[{{\psi }_{w}}={{\psi }_{s}}-{{\psi }_{\rho }}\]

    C)  \[{{\psi }_{w}}={{\psi }_{s}}\]

    D)  \[{{\psi }_{w}}={{\psi }_{\rho }}-{{\psi }_{s}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Water potential \[\text{(}{{\text{ }\!\!\psi\!\!\text{ }}_{\text{w}}}\text{)}\] of a cell is affected by both solute and pressure potential. The relationship between them is as follows: \[{{\psi }_{w}}={{\psi }_{s}}+{{\psi }_{p}}\]
