(ii) Acts due to cell sap on cell wall (c) Turgor pressure (iii) Hypertonic medium (d) Phloem (iv) Absorption of water by living or dead cells of plants. (e) Imbibition (v) Translocation of food -
2.What is the condition of a cell when it is kept in a hypotonic solution?
- A.Plasmolysis
- B.Turgidity
- C.Flaccidity
- D.Deplasmolysis
-
3.A shoot from a balsam plant is kept in a beaker containing eosin solution (pink). The pink colour will be distinctly seen in the:
- A.Xylem
- B.Phloem
- C.Epidermis
- D.Cortex
-
4.Which medium is responsible for the transport of minerals in plants?
- A.Air
- B.Water
- C.Soil particles
- D.Phloem sap
-
5.Refer to Table 4.1. Which of the following correctly lists three differences between diffusion and osmosis?
- A.Diffusion involves only solute molecules, osmosis involves only water; diffusion requires a membrane, osmosis does not; both are rapid processes.
- B.Diffusion moves solute or solvent molecules, osmosis moves only water; diffusion can occur without a membrane, osmosis requires a semi-permeable membrane; diffusion is rapid in gases, osmosis is slow.
- C.Diffusion and osmosis both involve only water molecules; neither requires a membrane; both occur at the same speed in all mediums.
- D.Diffusion is always slow, osmosis is always rapid; diffusion requires a semi-permeable membrane, osmosis does not; both involve solute molecules only.
