Which of the following is not a purpose of Transpiration?
(1) Absorption of minerals and water from the soil and transport in the plants
(2) Supplies water for photosynthesis
(3) Evaporative heating

The evolution of C4 plants is probably one of the strategies to
(1) Maximize oxygen availability
(2) Maximize Carbon dioxide availability
(3) Minimize water loss
(4) Both B and C
C4 plants are …….as efficient as C3 plants in term of making sugar and lose only ….. of the water in comparison.
(1) Half, double
(2) Twice, half
(3) One fourth, one third

Which of the following statements is not correct?
(1) Some ions also move in epidermal cells passively
(2) The active uptake of ions is partly responsible for the water potential gradient in the roots.
(3) Uptake of water by the roots is through osmosis
