Osmosis — practice question

The diagram displays a plant cell after it has been immersed in solution P for 20 minutes. Which row gives the water potential of solution P and the state of the cell?

  • Awater potential of solution P: higher than the cell sap in the vacuole; condition of the cell: plasmolysed and turgid
  • Bwater potential of solution P: higher than the cell sap in the vacuole; condition of the cell: under high turgor pressure
  • Cwater potential of solution P: lower than the cell sap in the vacuole; condition of the cell: plasmolysed and flaccid
  • Dwater potential of solution P: the same as the cell sap in the vacuole; condition of the cell: under low turgor pressure
