Question

The movement of water molecule from one cell to another depends on -

A.

Wall pressure

B.

Turgor pressure

C.

Plasma pressure

D.

Osmotic concentration

Correct option is D

The correct answer is (d) Osmotic concentration.
· The movement of water molecules from one cell to another primarily depends on the osmotic concentration (or osmotic potential) of the cells.
· Water moves by osmosis from areas of lower osmotic concentration (higher water potential) to areas of higher osmotic concentration (lower water potential) across the cell membranes.
· This process helps in maintaining cell turgidity and plays a crucial role in the transport of water within plant tissues.
Additional Information:
· Wall pressure : This is the pressure exerted by the cell wall, but it does not directly drive water movement between cells.
· Turgor pressure : This pressure is the result of water entering the cell, maintaining cell rigidity, but it’s not the primary factor for water movement.
· Plasma pressure : This is not a relevant term in cellular water movement and does not directly impact osmosis.
