Hypertonic
A solution with a higher solute concentration compared to another solution.
Hypotonic
A solution with a lower solute concentration compared to another solution.
Pressure potential
Pressure potential ($\psi_p$) reflects the physical pressure exerted on water.
Solute potential
Solute potential ($\psi_s$) measures how solutes affect water's potential energy.
Water potential
Water potential ($\Psi$) is a measure of the potential energy of water per unit volume, determining the direction water will move.
