Detailed Solution
In terms of water potential water moves from a region of higher water potential to a region of lower water potential. The water potential (ψ) of cell A is ψs + ψp = - 5 + 2 = -3 Pa. The water potential of Cell B is – 8 + 7 = - 1 Pa. Cell A has less water potential than cell B. Hence water moves from Cell B to Cell A.
