To determine the direction of water movement between two adjoining cells A and B, we need to calculate the water potential for each cell. Water potential (Ψ) is the sum of solute potential (Ψs) and pressure potential (Ψp). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the given values:** - For Cell A: - Solute potential (Ψs) = -20 bars - Pressure potential (Ψp) = 10 bars ...
