Passage cells are thin-walled cells found in:
1. endodermis of roots facilitating rapid transport of water from cortex to pericycle
2. phloem elements that serve as entry points for substances for transport to other plant parts
3. testa of seeds to enable emergence of growing embryonic axis during seed germination
4. central region of style through which the pollen tube grows towards the ovary

Two cells A and B are contiguous. Cell A has osmotic pressure 10 atm, turgor pressure 7 atm and diffusion pressure deficit 3 atm. Cell B has osmotic pressure 8 atm, turgor pressure 3 atm and diffusion pressure deficit 5 atm. The result will be
1. Movement of water from cell B to A
2. No movement of water
3. Equilibrium between the two
4. Movement of water from cell A to B
