Transpiration 

  1. Loss of water in soil 
  2. Loss of minerals in soil 
  3. Loss of water to the air from the leaves 
  4. Loss of organic substances because of photorespiration

Solute Potential is the amount where

(1) Dissolution of a solute causes lowering of water potential

(2) Increase of solute causes increase of water potential

(3) Increase of solute causes decrease in osmotic pressure

(4) Increase of solute causes increase in solute potential
