The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the parameters provided for Cell A and Cell B, specifically focusing on osmotic pressure, turgor pressure, and the concept of diffusion pressure deficit (DPD). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Parameters**: - **Osmotic Pressure**: This is the pressure exerted by the solute in a solution. For Cell A, it is 10, and for Cell B, it is 8. - **Turgor Pressure**: This is the pressure exerted by the cell wall against the inward pressure of the cell contents. For Cell A, it is 8, and for Cell B, it is 4. 2. **Calculate the Diffusion Pressure Deficit (DPD)**: - DPD is calculated using the formula: \[ \text{DPD} = \text{Osmotic Pressure} - \text{Turgor Pressure} \] - For **Cell A**: \[ \text{DPD}_A = 10 - 8 = 2 \] - For **Cell B**: \[ \text{DPD}_B = 8 - 4 = 4 \] 3. **Analyze the DPD Values**: - Cell A has a DPD of 2, and Cell B has a DPD of 4. - Water moves from areas of lower DPD to areas of higher DPD. 4. **Determine the Direction of Water Movement**: - Since the DPD of Cell B (4) is higher than that of Cell A (2), water will move from Cell A to Cell B. 5. **Choose the Correct Result**: - Based on the analysis, the correct statement is that water will move from Cell A to Cell B. ### Final Answer: Water will move from Cell A to Cell B. ---
