A) water moves from cell B to cell A
B) equal amount of water is simultaneously exchanged between cell A and cell B
C) water moves from cell A to cell B
D) there is no movement of water between cell A and cell B
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
Movement of water between cell takes place along the water potential gradient, water moves from a cell having higher water potential to a cell having lower water potential. Cell B has higher water potential (-12 bars + 2 bars = -10 bars), whereas cell A has lower water potential (-20 bars +8 bars = -12 bars). Hence, water will move from cell B to cell A.You need to login to perform this action.
