You place a flaccid plant cell (Ψ = -0.7 MPa) into an environment (beaker) of sucrose solution (Ψ = -0.9 MPa). Compare the initial conditions of the flaccid cell and the environment (beaker of sucrose solution) in terms of:

  1. A) Water potential (high or low) of the environment
  2. B) Solute concentration (high or low) of the environment
  3. C) Tonicity (hypertonic, hypotonic, or isotonic) of the environment
  4. D) Water potential (high or low) of the cell E) Solute concentration (high or low) of the cell
  5. F) Tonicity (hypertonic, hypotonic, or isotonic) of the cell G) Predict the direction of water movement (into the cell, out of the cell, or no net movement)
  6. H) Predict the change in turgor pressor of the cell (increase turgor pressure or decrease turgor pressure)
  7. I) Predict the fate of the cell (plasmolyzed, turgid, or lysed)
