A Plant Cell Is Isolated and Placed in a Water

Question 126

Multiple Choice

A plant cell is isolated and placed in a water bath.Due to dissolved solutes within the cell, the cell has a negative solute potential (s = 1.3 MPa) .At the same time, placing the cell in the water bath creates a positive pressure potential within the cell (p = 1.5 MPa) .Which of the following regarding the water potential within the cell (cell) is true?


A) cell is the product of the two values (i.e., = 1.95 MPa) , and there is a net movement of water into the cell.
B) cell is the product of the two values (i.e., = 1.95 MPa) , and there is a net movement of water out of the cell.
C) cell is the sum of the two values (i.e., = 0.2 MPa) , and there is a net movement of water into the cell.
D) cell is the sum of the two values (i.e., = 0.2 MPa) , and there is a net movement of water out of the cell.
E) cell is the difference of the two values (i.e., = 2.8 MPa) , and there is a net movement of water out of the cell.
