When water flows into the cell and out of the cell and are in equilibrium, the cells are said to be:
1. Flaccid
2. Plasmolysed
3. Turgid
4. Wilted
In facilitated diffusion, membrane proteins:
I: | provide sites at which molecules cross the membrane against the concentration gradient. |
II: | set up a concentration gradient for diffusion to occur. |
1. Only I is correct
2. Only II is correct
3. Both I and II are correct
4. Both I and II are incorrect
By convention, the water potential of pure water at standard temperatures, which is not under any pressure, is take to be:
1. 0 MPa
2. 760 Mpa
3. - 5 Mpa
4. 1.0 MPa
Consider the two given statements regarding mass or bulk flow in plants:
Statement I: | It is a characteristic of mass flow that substances, whether in solution or in suspension, are swept along at the same pace. |
Statement II: | Bulk flow can be achieved only through a negative hydrostatic pressure gradient. |
1. | Statement I is correct; Statement II is incorrect |
2. | Statement I is correct; Statement II is correct |
3. | Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is incorrect |
4. | Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is correct |
Statement I: | The forces generated by transpiration can lift a xylem-sized column of water over 130 meters height. |
Statement II: | Transpiration cools leaf surfaces sometimes 10 to 15 degrees, by evaporative cooling. |
