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 an osmotic pressure of 8 atm, turgor pressure of 3 atm, and diffusion pressure deficit of 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

The rupture and fractionation do not usually occur in the water column in vessel/tracheids during the ascent of sap because of:

1. lignified thick walls

2. cohesion and adhesion

3. weak gravitational pull

4. transpiration pull
