Refer section 11.1.1 of your NCERT. What peculiarity does NCERT mention regarding diffusion and solids ?
1. It does not occur in solids
2. It is more easily visualized in solids
3. It requires expenditure of external energy and occurs against concentration gradient
4. Diffusion in solids rather than of solids is more likely.
Which one of the following will not directly affect transpiration?

The process of guttation takes place
1. When the root pressure is high and the rate of transpiration is low
2. When the root pressure is low and the rate of transpiration is high
3. When the root pressure equals the rate of transpiration
4. When the root pressure as well as rate of transpiration are high
When a plant undergoes senescence, the nutrients may be
1. Exported
2. Withdrawn
3. Translocated

Electron transport chain in mitochondria uses the reduction energy of NADH to move protons across the inner mitochondrial membrane against their concentration gradient. This is an example of:
1. Facilitated diffusion
2. Forward osmosis
3. Primary active transport
4. Secondary active transport
Identify the incorrect statement regarding aquaporins:
1. Water channels are transmembrane proteins made up of eight different types of aquaporins.
2. Water moves most rapidly in tissues that have aquaporin water channels.
3. The presence of water channels increases membrane permeability to water.
4. Aquaporins selectively conduct water molecules in and out of the cell but allow some passage of protons.
