A Cell Has a Pressure Potential Ψ\Psi p) of +1 Ψ\Psi

Question 143

Multiple Choice

A cell has a pressure potential ( Ψ\Psi p) of +1.5 MPa and a solute potential ( Ψ\Psi s) of +1.5 MPa.What does this mean for the resulting value of Ψ\Psi and the flow of water, provided the cell is in a bath of pure water ?


A) Ψ\Psi = 3 MPa; Water will flow into the cell.
B) Ψ\Psi = 3 MPa; Water will flow out of the cell.
C) Ψ\Psi = 0 MPa; Water will flow into the cell.
D) Ψ\Psi = 0 MPa; There will be no net movement of water.
E) Ψ\Psi = 2.25 MPa; Water will flow out of the cell.
