Two cells A and B are contiguous. Cell-A has osmotic pressure 10 atm, turgor pressure 7 atm and diffusion pressure deficit 3 atm. Cell-B has osmotic pressure 8 atm, turgor pressure 3 atm and diffusion pressure deficit 5 atm. The result will be

Answer: (D)

Solution

Water moves from a cell of lower diffusion pressure deficit (DPD) to a cell of higher DPD, since DPD (= OP − TP) is numerically equal to the suction force with which
