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

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 movernent of water

3. Equilibrium between the two

4. Movement of water from cell A to B
