Q. No.Consider the following statements regarding water potential:
I. Water potential is the potential energy of water relative to pure free water (e.g., deionized water)
in reference conditions.
II. Typically, pure water at standard temperature and pressure (or other suitable reference condition) is defined as having a water potential of 0.
III. The addition of solutes to water increases its potential (makes it more negative), just as the increase in pressure lowers its potential (makes it more positive).
The correct statements are:
1. I, II and III
2. I and II
3. I and III
4. II and III

During Plasmolysis:
1. Water is first lost from the cytoplasm and then from the vacuole
2. Water is first lost from the vacuole and then from the cytoplasm
3. Water is lost only from the cytoplasm and not from the vacuole
4. Water is lost only from the vacuole and not from the cytoplasm
For imbibition to occur, affinity between the adsorbant and the liquid is:
1. not essential
2. not essential since imbitition is also a diffusion
3. not essential if occurring against the concentration gradient
4. a pre-requisite

Consider the following statements:
I. In diffusion, different substances move independently of one another depending on their individual concentration gradients.
II. Similarly, in bulk transport, different substances move independently of one another depending on their individual concentration gradients.
III. Bulk flow can be achieved either through a positive hydrostatic pressure or through a negative hydrostatic pressure.

The greatest contribution of root pressure in water transport in plants most likely is that it:
| 1. | pushes water to the top at night |
| 2. | pushes water to the top of the plant when the rate of transpiration is low |
| 3. | re-establishes the continuous chain of water molecules in the xylem |
| 4. | pushes water into the endodermal cells changing the transport from apoplast to symplast |
