Transport in Plants

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

• Movement of water from cell B to A

• No movement of water

• Equilibrium between the two

• Equilibrium between the two
