Free Transport In Plants (Daily Quiz: 13) Time:

Question-1

Seeds when soaked in water, they imbibe because of

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Answer: (d)

Seeds when soaked in water, they imbibe because of the presence of the water potential gradient between the seed coat and water. Seeds and other such materials have almost no water hence they absorb water easily. Imbibition is a process of absorption of fluid by a solid body without resultant chemical change in either of the material.


Question-2

Loading of phloem is related to

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Answer: (c)

When the phloem cells, just near the source, for example green leaves attain higher concentration of sugars, it is called the process of phloem loading. Sucrose is photosynthesised in the chloroplasts of mesophyll cells of leaves. Mesophyll cells are connected with each other through plasmodesmata. Similarly plasmodesmata are also present between the mesophyll cells and companion cells and also between mesophyll cells and sieve tubes. There plasmodesmata are the "channels" meant for the passage of sucrose.


Question-3

Which of the following would not contribute to water uptake by a plant cell ?

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)


Question-4

Wilting occurs when

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Answer: (b)

At noon the rate of transpiration is maximum. The rate of water absorption is less due to shrinkage of roots and depletion of water around the root hairs.


Question-5

The process of guttation takes place

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)
