The process responsible for facilitating loss of water in liquid form from the tip of grass blades at night and early morning is:
1. Root pressure
2. Imbibition
3. Plasmolysis
4. Transpiration
Select the incorrect statement.
1. | Transport of molecules in phloem can be bidirectional. |
2. | The movement of minerals in the xylem is unidirectional. |
3. | Unloading of sucrose at the sink does not involve the utilization of ATP. |
4. | Elements most easily mobilized in plants from one region to another are phosphorus, sulfur, nitrogen, and potassium. |
What will be the direction of flow of water when a plant cell is placed in a Hypotonic solution?
1. Water will flow in both directions.
2. Water will flow out of the cell.
3. Water will flow into the cell.
4. No flow of water in any direction.
Which of the following is not a feature of the active transport of solutes in plants?
1. Occurs against the concentration gradient
2. Non-selective
3. Occurs through membranes
4. Requires ATP
The main difference between active and passive transport across cell membrane is :
1. | passive transport is non-selective whereas active transport is selective |
2. | passive transport requires a concentration gradient across a biological membrane whereas active transport requires energy to move solutes. |
3. | passive transport is confined to anionic carrier proteins whereas active transport is confined to cationic channel. |
4. | active transport occurs more rapidly than passive |
Guttation is the result of:
1. Root pressure
2. Diffusion
3. Transpiration
4. Osmosis
Function of companion cells is:
1. | Loading of sucrose into sieve elements |
2. | Providing energy to sieve elements for active transport |
3. | Providing water to phloem |
4. | Loading of sucrose into sieve elements by passive transport |

1. 0 and 0
2. 0 and 1
3. 100 and 0
4. 100 and 100
What shall be the water potential of a root hair cell absorbing water from the soil?
1. Zero
2. Less than zero
3. More than zero
4. Infinite
Casparian bands are found in:
1. | Endodermis | 2. | Pericycle |
