A plasmolysed cell can be deplasmolysed by placing it in :

1. Pure water or hypotonic solution

2. Hypertonic solution

3. Isotonic solution

4, Saturated solution

If alcohol treated cell is kept in hypertonic solution it:

1. Bursts

2. Plasmolysed

3. Remains same

4. None

The loss of water through cuticle may reach upto :

1. 5%

2. 10%

3. 20%

4. 40%

Dry wooden stakes, if driven into a small crack in a rock and then soaked, can develop enough pressure to split the rock. Such a pressure is built up through the phenomenon of :

1. Imbibition

2. Buttress roots

3. Prop roots

4. Turgor pressure

The cohesive force existing between molecules of water is contributing to :

1. ascent of sap

2. translocation

3. plasmolysis

4. osmosis.

To initiate cell plasmolysis, the salt concentration must be :

1. isotonic

2. hypertonic

3. hypotonic

4. atonic

Ascent of sap is mainly attributed to :

1. cohesion force

2. imbibition

3. root pressure

4. capillarity

Solution concentration is higher in the external solution. The solution is

1. Isotonic

2. Hypotonic

3. Hypertonic

4. None of the above.

Which of the following statements are true/false?

a. the positive hydrostatic pressure is called turgor pressure.

b. wall pressure exerts to prevent the increase of protoplasm size.

c. diffusion is more rapid in liquids than in gases

d. diffusion of water through a semi-permeable membrane is called imbibition

e. osmosis is movement of substances which takes place along a diffusion gradient.

1. a and b are true & c, d and e are false

2.  a and c are true & d, d and e are false

3.  a and d are true & b, c and e are false

4.  a and e are true & b, c and d are false

Path of water movement from soil to xylem is :

1. soil$\to$ root hair$\to$ cortex $\to$pericycle $\to$endodermis $\to$metaxylem $\to$protoxylem

2. soil $\to$root hair$\to$ cortex$\to$ endodermis$\to$ pericycle $\to$protoxylem$\to$ metaxylem

3. soil $\to$root hair $\to$epidermis$\to$ endodermis$\to$ phloem$\to$ xylem

4. soil $\to$root hair$\to$ epidodermis$\to$cortex$\to$ phloem$\to$ xylem
