Question 77

Multiple Choice

Suppose a living plant cell has Ψ\varPsi = Ψ\varPsi s = -0.5 MPa. Also suppose that the plant cell is placed into a beaker filled with a solution for which Ψ\varPsi = 0. What will the cell then do?


A) It will lose water until its Ψ\varPsi s = its Ψ\varPsi p.
B) It will take up water until within the cell Ψ\varPsi p = - Ψ\varPsi s.
C) It will take up water until its Ψ\varPsi s = Ψ\varPsi s of the solution.
D) It will take up water until it bursts.
