Question

factors affecting water potential?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Adding solute lowers the water potential. When a solution is enclosed by a rigid cell wall, the movement of water into the cell will exert pressure on the cell wall. This increase in pressure within the cell will raise the water potential. There are two components to water potential: solute concentration and pressure.
