Suppose that the osmotic potential of a system is -45 MPa. Pressure of 60 MPa is being exerted on the system and the matric potential is -40 MPa. What is the overall water potential of the system?
A) ‒145 MPa
B) ‒65 MPa
C) ‒25 MPa
D) +55 MPa

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The overall water potential is calculated by adding the osmotic potential, pressure potential, and matric potential: -45 MPa (osmotic) + 60 MPa (pressure) - 40 MPa (matric) = -25 MPa.
