Answer:
Solute potential is basically the potential of water to move from hypotonic solution to hypertonic solution. Adding solutes to a solution increases it's solute concentration, and a decrease in solute potential, as the water is less likely to leave the system when separated from pure water by a semipermeable membrane.

Answer:
Water always moves from the system with a higher water potential to the system with a lower water potential.
Solute potential (Ψs) decreases with increasing solute concentration; a decrease in Ψs causes a decrease in the total water potential.
