Q. No.Identify the incorrect statement:
I. Root hairs are thin walled slender extensions of root epidermal cells that greatly increase the surface area for absorption.
II. Water is absorbed along with mineral solutes, by the root hairs, by diffusion as well as by active transport aided by cytoplasmic streaming.
1. Only I
2. Only II
3. Neither I nor II
4. Both I and II

The main difference between active transport and facilitated diffusion is:
1. In active transport the molecules move from areas of high to areas of low concentration
2. In active transport, you need carrier proteins
3. In active transport, you need ATP to move molecules against a concentration gradient
4. In active transport, only water molecules move

What causes the water to flow into the sieve tube at the source?
1. Diffusion of sucrose into the sieve tube, making it hypertonic.
2. Active transport of sucrose into the sieve tube, making it hypertonic.
3. Active pumping of water by the adjacent companion cell.
4. A lower water potential outside the sieve tube.

Phloem transport differs from xylem transport as:
| 1. | Xylem transport requires active pumping at stomata, transport in phloem is passive. |
| 2. | Phloem movement is solar powered, xylem movement occurs best in dark. |
| 3. | Phloem carries fluid from the soil to the leaves, while xylem is the reverse. |
| 4. | Phloem can reverse direction, depending on the activity of the "source" and "sink" of its materials but the flow in xylem is essentially unidirectional. |

It is a common observation that pine seedlings grown in sterile potting soil grow much slower than seedlings grown in soil from the area where the seeds were collected. The most probable cause for this would be:
| 1. | damage to root hairs during the sterilization process. |
| 2. | the absence of mycorrhizae in the sterilized soil. |
| 3. | lack of essential minerals in a sterilized soil. |
| 4. | non functioning of protein pumps in the sterilized soil. |
Translocation in xylem will not be facilitated by:
1. The cohesion of water molecules.
2. A negative water potential.
3. The root parenchyma.
4. The active transport of solutes.
The Casparian strip in plant roots:
1. is located in the walls of the outermost portion of the cortex.
2. is composed predominantly of lignin and hence is impermeable to water.
3. ensures active uptake of all minerals by the roots.
4. ensures that all water and dissolved substances must pass through a cell membrane before entering the vascular cylinder.
