Will Be Zero in a Fully Turgid Cell?

-When a cell is fully turgid, its walls and membranes are completely stretched. At this time osmotic pressure of the cell will be equal to turgor pressure

turgor pressure
Turgor pressure is the force within the cell that pushes the plasma membrane against the cell wall. It is also called hydrostatic pressure, and defined as the pressure measured by a fluid, measured at a certain point within itself when at equilibrium.

and so water potential becomes zero.

Which one is possible for fully turgid cell?

As the cell becomes fully turgid, the value of turgor pressure becomes equal to that of solute potential (Ψs) so that water potential (Ψw) or DPD becomes either zero or equal to that of external hypotonic solution.

What will be pressure potential for a fully turgid cell?

Water potential is calculated by the sum of solute potential and pressure potential. The Solute potential is negative and pressure potential is positive. In a fully turgid cell, the solute potential is equal to pressure potential and consequently water potential is zero.
