Guttation is:
1. deposition of dew drops on the leaves in the morning.
2. shrinking of protoplast away from the cell wall.
3. evidence of root pressure.
4. cavitation in the water column.
A column of water in the xylem even in a tall tree normally does not sink because of its weight due to:
1. | the exceptionally large diameter of vessels. |
2. | bubbles too large to be transported even through the pits. |
3. | the presence of strong ion concentrations near the top of the tree. |
4. | the tensile strength of a column of water. |
The type of phyllotaxy seen in most angiosperms is:
1. Alternate
2. Opposite
3. Whorled
4. Random
A plant treated with a fungicide may develop:
1. Loss of root hair
2. Inhibition of transport proteins in root cells
3. Deficiency of mineral
4. Formation of root knots
For most crops a leaf area index is common up to:
1. 1
2. 7
3. 10
4. 14
The apoplast pathway in plants includes all the following except:
1. the lumen of a xylem vessel
2. the lumen of a sieve tube
3. the lumen of tracheids
4. the cell wall of a root hair
The ions that plays the primary role in basic transport processes in plant cells is:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Osmosis in plants would not be affected by:
1. water potential gradient
2. a difference in solute concentrations
3. type of cell membrane receptor proteins
4. number of aquaporins
Active transport of substances does not involve:
1. transport of solute along the concentration gradient.
2. use of a specific membrane transport protein.
3. hydrolysis of ATP.
4. transport of solute against a concentration gradient.
The proton pump in the plasma membrane of a plant cell does not:
1. hydrolyze ATP
2. establish a proton gradient across the membrane
3. generate a membrane potential
4. equalize the charge on each side of a membrane
