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. |
| 1. | Active Transport | 2. | Osmosis |
| 3. | Facilitated Diffusion | 4. | Passive Transport |

| A: | Mass flow is faster than diffusion. |
| B: | Mass flow is the result of pressure difference between the end points. |
| C: | Different substances involved in mass flow move at different paces. |

| 1. | in same direction with the help of different carriers located at a common site |
| 2. | in same direction with the help of different carriers located at different sites in the same cell |
| 3. | in same direction with the help of same carrier |
| 4. | in opposite direction with the help of same carrier |
| I: | The process of translocation through phloem is unidirectional but through xylem, it is bidirectional |
| II: | The most readily mobilized elements are phosphorus, sulphur, nitrogen and potassium. |
