Question

Given below are diagrams of plant cells as seen under the microscope after having been placed in two different solutions

(i) What is the technical term for the condition of : (a) Cell A (b) Cell B?
(ii) From the solutions given in brackets (water, strong sugar solution, 1% salt solution) name the solution into which :
(1) Cell A
(2) Cell B was placed before being viewed under the microscope
(3) Under what conditions in the soil will the root hair cell resemble:
(a) Cell A
(b) Cell B
(4) Name the pressure responsible for the movement of water from the root hair cell to the xylem of the world? How is it set up ?
(5) Name the pressure that helps in the movement of water up the xylem of the root? ​
