In a plant water-potential data set, the hydrangea leaf cell has ΨP = +0.9 bars and ΨS = -2.75 bars. A student must combine the components without changing their signs. Which setup correctly combines pressure potential and solute potential?
A
Ψ = ΨP - ΨS = +0.9 - (-2.75) = +3.65 bars
B
Ψ = ΨP + ΨS = +0.9 + (-2.75) = -1.85 bars
C
Ψ = ΨS - ΨP = -2.75 - (+0.9) = -3.65 bars
D
Ψ = (ΨP + ΨS)/2 = (-1.85)/2 = -0.93 bars
