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

A

movement of water from cell B-A

B

no movement of water

C

equilibrium between the two

D

movement fo water from cell A-B

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem regarding the movement of water between two contiguous cells A and B based on their osmotic pressure, turgor pressure, and diffusion pressure deficit (DPD), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Values:** - For Cell A: - Osmotic Pressure (OP_A) = 10 atm - Turgor Pressure (TP_A) = 7 atm - DPD_A = OP_A - TP_A = 10 atm - 7 atm = 3 atm - For Cell B: - Osmotic Pressure (OP_B) = 8 atm - Turgor Pressure (TP_B) = 3 atm - DPD_B = OP_B - TP_B = 8 atm - 3 atm = 5 atm 2. **Calculate the Diffusion Pressure Deficit (DPD) for Both Cells:** - DPD for Cell A: DPD_A = 3 atm - DPD for Cell B: DPD_B = 5 atm 3. **Determine the Direction of Water Movement:** - Water moves from a region of lower DPD to a region of higher DPD. - Since DPD_A (3 atm) < DPD_B (5 atm), water will move from Cell A to Cell B. 4. **Conclusion:** - The result of the analysis indicates that water will flow from Cell A to Cell B due to the difference in diffusion pressure deficit. ### Final Answer: Water will move from Cell A to Cell B. ---
