The osmotic potential and pressure potential of three cells (A, B, C) located in different parts of an actively transpiring plant are given below:
| Cell | Osmotic Potential (MPa) | Pressure Potential (MPa) |
|---|---|---|
| A | – 0.87 | 0.44 |
| B | – 0.92 | 0.34 |
| C | – 0.68 | 0.27 |
Identify these three cells as root hair, root cortical and leaf mesophyll cells respectively. The correct answer is
C, A, B
A, C, B
A, B, C
B, C, A
