The osmotic potential and pressure potential of three cells (A, B, C) located in different parts of an actively transpiring plant are given below
Identify these three cells as root hair, root cortical and leaf mesophyll cells respectively

A

A, B, C

B

A, C, B

C

C, A, B

D

B, C, A

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Water potential move from high to low
`A Psi_(w) = Psi_(s) + Psi_(p) = - 0.43 `
`B Psi B = - 0.58`
`C Psi _(w) = - 0.41 `
Thus the cells are root hair, root cortical and leaf mesophyll cells are C, A and B respectively.
