Unlike water, all minerals cannot be passively absorbed by the roots. This is due to:
I. Minerals are present in the soil as charged particles
II. Concentration of minerals in soil is generally less than the concentration of minerals in roots
The correct statements are:
1. Only I
2. Only II
3. Both 1 & II are incorrect
4. Both 1 & II are correct

Refer section 11.3.1, NCERT where it is stated that most of the water flow in the roots occurs via the apoplast. Why is this so?
1. Endodermis has suberized casparian strips
2. Root cortex cell lack plasmodesmata
3. Cortical cells are loosely packed
4. Root cortex is poorly organized

In sec 11.4, NCERT, it is mentioned that transpiration is affected by the canopy structure. This means that transpirational loss is lower in shaded leaves compared to sun exposed leaves higher in canopy. What would not be a reason for this?
1. Lower stomatal conductance
2. Lower leaf temperature
3. Lower air humidity
4. Lower air turbulence
