Cell A with OP=6OP = 6 and WP=5WP = 5 is surrounded by the cells with OP=3OP = 3 and TP=2TP = 2 , what will be the direction of water movement?

Options

  1. AFrom AA to other cells
  2. BFrom other cells to AA
  3. CNo movement
  4. DWater will move up

Correct answer

C. No movement

Step-by-step solution

DPD is a diffusion pressure deficit and it is used to find out the direction of movement of water. The movement of water will take place from low DPD to high DPD and it can be calculated through given formula i.e.

DPD=DPD = Osmotic pressure-Turgor pressure
Cell A Cell B
OP=6OP = 6 OP=3OP = 3
TP=WP=5TP = WP = 5 TP=WP=2TP = WP = 2
So DPD=6−5=1DPD = 6 - 5 = 1 DPD=3−2=1DPD = 3 - 2 = 1

The DPD of both the cells is coming equal. So there will be no movement of water.
