How does the water potential of the cell marked 2 differ from the water potentials of the cells
marked 1 and 3?
A higher than cell 1 and higher than cell 3
B higher than cell 1 and lower than cell 3
с lower than cell 1 and higher than cell 3
D lower than cell 1 and lower than cell 3

Answer 1

Explanation:

higher than cell 1 and higher than cell 3

Answer 2

Answer:

Its lower than in cell one but higher than in cell 3.

Explanation:

Remember the water potential is always the highest at cell 1  so anything that comes after will have a lower water potential gradient than cell one but it will have a higher concentration gradient than cell 3.
