Suppose a Living Plant Cell Has $\varPsi$ _p = 0 $\varPsi$ _s = -0

Multiple Choice

Suppose a living plant cell has $\varPsi$ _p = 0.4 MPa and $\varPsi$ _s = -0.5 MPa. Suppose also that the plant cell is placed into a beaker filled with a solution for which $\varPsi$ = $\varPsi$ _s=-0.9 MPa. What will the cell then do?

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