‘A’ and ‘B’ are the two adjacent living cells. The cell ‘A’ has solute potential (\psi_s) of −9 bars and pressure potential (\psi_p) of 4 bars, whereas cell ‘B’ has solute potential (\psi_s) of −8 bars and pressure potential (\psi_p) of 5 bars. What will be the direction of water movement between these cells?

Correct Answer is : Cell B to Cell A

‘A’ and ‘B’ are the two adjacent living cells. The cell ‘A’ has solute potential (ψs) of −9 bars and pressure potential (ψp) of 4 bars, whereas cell ‘B’ has solute potential (ψs) of −8 bars and pressure potential (ψp) of 5 bars. What will be the direction of water movement between these cells?

Cell A to Cell B
Cell B to Cell A
Do not move in any direction
