Question

Two adjacent plant cells are depicted below. A few statements regarding them are made. Mark the correct statement cell A cell B ψ = 1200 kpa ψ =-800 kpa ψP=800 kpa ψP=600 kpa ψS=-2000 kpa ψS=-1400 kpa (A) The Cell A has a higher water potential than B (B) The direction of movement of water by osmosis will be from Cell A to Cell B (C) At equilibrium, the two cells will have a potential value of -1700 KPa (D) Assuming that the solute potentials of the two cells do not change at equilibrium, the pressure potential of Cell B will be 400 KPa.

Correct answer is (d) Assuming that the solute potentials of the two cells do not change at equilibrium, the pressure potential of Cell B will be 400 KPa.

cell A	cell B
$ψ$ = $1200 k p a$	$ψ$ = $- 800 k p a$
$ψ_{P} = 800 k p a$	$ψ_{P} = 600 k p a$
$ψ_{S} = - 2000 k p a$	$ψ_{S} = - 1400 k p a$

Q. Two adjacent plant cells are depicted below. A few statements regarding them are made. Mark the correct statement cell A cell B ψ = 1200kpa ψ =−800kpa ψP​=800kpa ψP​=600kpa ψS​=−2000kpa ψS​=−1400kpa

The Cell A has a higher water potential than B

The direction of movement of water by osmosis will be from Cell A to Cell B

At equilibrium, the two cells will have a potential value of -1700 KPa

Assuming that the solute potentials of the two cells do not change at equilibrium, the pressure potential of Cell B will be 400 KPa.

Correct answer is (d) Assuming that the solute potentials of the two cells do not change at equilibrium, the pressure potential of Cell B will be 400 KPa.

Q. Two adjacent plant cells are depicted below. A few statements regarding them are made. Mark the correct statement

cell A cell B

$ψ$ = $1200 k p a$ $ψ$ = $- 800 k p a$

$ψ_{P} = 800 k p a$ $ψ_{P} = 600 k p a$

$ψ_{S} = - 2000 k p a$ $ψ_{S} = - 1400 k p a$
