The given diagram shows the water potentials of a plant cell and the solution in which it wasimmersed for 10 minutes:
Correct answer: A. Option A
- A. Option A
- B. Option B
- C. Option C
- D. Option D
Explanation
In general, water moves from an area of higher water potential to an area of lower water potential. So water will move from the solution into cell, water potential of cell will become higher and cell will become turgid.So, option A is correct.

About Plant Nutrition and Transport
Plants require macronutrients and micronutrients for growth, and mineral deficiencies produce recognizable symptoms. Transport involves water and minerals through xylem by transpiration pull, cohesion and adhesion, while phloem translocates sugars from sources to sinks. Root pressure and transpiration are distinct mechanisms.
