Two adjacent cells `A` and `B` are being studied. Cell `A` has `OP` of `10` atm and `TP` of `6` atm. Cell `B` has `OP`of `10`atm and `TP` of `4` atm.
Movement of water will occur from

A

cell `A`to cell `B`

B

cell `B`to cell `A`

C

no movement of water

D

cannot be determined.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
For cell `A:DPD=OP-TP=10-6=4 atm`
For cell `B:DPD=OP-TP=10-4=6atm`
As water moves from a cell with lower DPD to cell with higher DPD, therefore water will move from cell `A` to cell `B`
