Water passes into a cell due to

A

Op

B

DPD

C

turgor pressure

D

diffusion.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Cell gain or lose water among themselves on the basis of their water potential or DPD and not their solute or osmotic potentials only. Movement of water (solvent) takes place from lower DPD to high DPD or from higher water potential to lower water potential.
