A

Osmotic pressure

B

C

Diffusion pressure deficit

D

Hydrostatic pressure

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

The entry of water into the cell is dependent on DPD and not OP alone
A cell : OP = 12
TP = 5
DPD = OP - TP = 7
B cell : OP = 14
TP = 12
DPD = 2
Since the DPD of the cell A is more it has less water and therefore water would diffuse from cell B to cell A . The entry of water into the cell A would stop when DPD both cells become equal. Thus the diffusion pressure deficit is the osmotic parameter determining the flow of water from one cell to another.
