In conditions of dehydration plant cells can increase their water retention by regulating the function of some or all of their aquaporins membrane bound protein channels that allow water to move through the cell membrane via facilitated diffusion Which of the following describes a likely mechanism by which aquaporins can be used to regulate the movement of water across the plant cell membrane A B C D Inhibition of the plant cell Golgi apparatus will decrease the production rate of vesicles and slow down the exocytosis of water molecules Inhibition of ATP hydrolysis will make the aquaporins unable to remove water from the cell and cause more water to remain in the cell Synthesis of additional aquaporins by the plant cell ribosomes will allow the cell to coun teract the movement of water out of the cell Inactivation of aquaporins will make water molecules unable to move across the plant cell membrane and allow more water to remain in the cell
