Assertion (A): | Water from stomata diffuses into the surrounding air. |
Reason (R): | There is lower concentration of water in the atmosphere as compared to sub-stomatal cavities. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is true but (R) is false. |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are false. |
1. | \(\psi_{s}=\psi_{w}+\psi_{p}\) |
2. | Wall pressure + Turgor pressure = Osmotic pressure |
3. | Solute potential = Osmotic potential - Osmotic pressure |
4. | Wall pressure = Osmotic pressure + Osmotic potential |
1. | Water enters into the cell eventually rupturing it |
2. | Water enters into the cell and turgor pressure is developed |
3. | Water comes out of the cell making it plasmolysed |
4. | Net movement of water will be zero |
(a) | Imbibition pressure | i. | Responsible for enlargement and extension growth of cell |
(b) | Turgor pressure | ii. | Used by prehistoric man to split rocks and boulder |
(c) | Mass or bulk inflow | iii. | Depends on pressure differences |
(d) | Osmosis | iv. | Depends on both pressure and concentration gradient |
