If a plant cell with a solute potential of -0.2 MPa is placed in a beaker of pure water, at equilibrium it will have a pressure potential of +0.2 MPa because the cell wall prevents cell expansion. If that cell is then placed in a solution with a solute potential of -0.3 MPa that is open to the atmosphere (draw a picture if it helps you),
a.) Water will flow out of the cell
b.) Water will flow into the cell
c.) There will be no net movement of water
d.) Solutes will move out of the cell
e.) The cell will explode
