In germination of seed, what is absorbent?
(1) Seed
(2) Water
(3) Environment
(4) Seedling
During Imbibition which of the following is pre-requisite?
(1) Water potential gradient between the absorbent and the liquid imbibed
(2) Affinity between absorbent / adsorbent
(3) Amount of seeds
(4) Both A and B
From the twig experiment in which twig is placed in colored water, which of the following can be deduced?
(1) The path of organic Acid
(2) The path of hormones
(3) The path of water
(4) The development of twig
Long distance transport cannot be carried by
(1) Diffusion Alone
(2) Active transport alone
(3) Bulk flow
(4) Both A and B
Movement of molecule across a typical plant cell i.e. 50 micrometer takes
(1) 10 seconds
(2) 15 seconds
(3) 2.5 seconds
(4) 16 seconds
Mass flow or bulk flow system is the movement of substances in bulk or en masse from one point to another point as a result of
(1) Pressure Difference between two points
(2) Osmotic gradient between two points
(3) Concentration gradient between two points
(4) Cannot be predicted
Mass flow
(1) Solids move slowly
(2) Liquid move faster
(3) All move through the same pace
(4) Solids move faster due to high Osmotic pressure
Bulk flow can be achieved by
(1) Positive hydrostatic pressure
(2) Negative hydrostatic pressure
(3) Both A and B
(4) Concentration gradient
If mass flow is occurring like suction through a straw
(1) It is due to positive hydrostatic pressure
(2) It is due to negative hydrostatic pressure
(3) It is due to concentration gradient
(4) All of these
Xylem transports from roots to the aerial parts of the plants
(1) Water, mineral salt
(2) Some organic Nitrogen
(3) Inorganic solutes, Hormones
(4) All of these
