Cell-A has osmotic potential of −18 bars and pressure potential of 8 bars, whereas cell-B has osmotic potential of −14 bars and pressure potential of 2 bars. The direction of flow of water will be

Answer: (B)

Solution

Water potential Ψw = Ψs + Ψp. For cell A: Ψw = −18 + 8 = −10 bars. For cell B: Ψw = −14 + 2 = −12 bars. Water always moves from a region of higher (less
