The water potential [Ψ] in root tissue was found to be -0.13 MPa. The Ψ of 0.1 M solution of sucrose is -0.23. If the root tissue is placed in this solution, the net water movement is expected to be
1. from the root tissue into the sucrose solution.
2. from the sucrose solution into the root tissue.
3. equal in both direction.
4. requiring ATP hydrolysis for either direction.
