Two cells A and B are contiguous. Cell A has osmotic pressure 10 atm, turgor pressure-7 atm and diffusion pressure deficit 3 atm. Cell B has osmotic pressure 8 atm, turgor pressure 3 atm and diffusion pressure deficit 5 atm. The result will be
Movement of water from cell B to A
No movement of water
The equilibrium between the two
Movement of water from cell A to B
