Q. No.Refer section 11.1.1 of your NCERT. What peculiarity does NCERT mention regarding diffusion and solids ?
1. It does not occur in solids
2. It is more easily visualized in solids
3. It requires expenditure of external energy and occurs against concentration gradient
4. Diffusion in solids rather than of solids is more likely.

The process of guttation takes place
1. When the root pressure is high and the rate of transpiration is low
2. When the root pressure is low and the rate of transpiration is high
3. When the root pressure equals the rate of transpiration
4. When the root pressure as well as rate of transpiration are high

Identify the incorrect statement regarding aquaporins:
1. Water channels are transmembrane proteins made up of eight different types of aquaporins.
2. Water moves most rapidly in tissues that have aquaporin water channels.
3. The presence of water channels increases membrane permeability to water.
4. Aquaporins selectively conduct water molecules in and out of the cell but allow some passage of protons.

What is incorrect regarding apoplast transport in plants?
1. The apoplast is formed by the continuum of cell walls of adjacent cells as well as the extracellular spaces.
2. Transport velocity is lower in the apoplast than in the symplast.
3. Apoplast transport also accounts for a higher proportion of water transport in plant tissues than does symplastic transport.
4. The apoplastic pathway is also involved in passive exclusion.

Root pressure is caused by:
1. active distribution of mineral nutrient ions into the root xylem.
2. passive distribution of mineral nutrient ions into the root xylem.
3. a lower water potential in soil than the root cells.
4. transpirational pull.

In classic experiments on the translocation of organic solutes performed by the Italian anatomist Marcello Malpighi in 1686, the bark of a tree was removed in a ring around the trunk. This experiment, called girdling, was also done by T. G. Mason and E. J. Maskell in 1928. The following were the observations:
I. It has no immediate effect on transpiration.
II. Sugars accumulate above the girdle—that is, on the side toward the leaves—and are depleted below the treated region.
What conclusion/s can be drawn from the above observations?
A: Water moves in the xylem, interior to the bark.
B: Sugar is transported in the bark of the tree and that the sieve elements are the cellular channels of sugar transport.
| 1. Only A | 2. Only B |
| 3. Both A and B | 4. Neither A nor B |
Trace the correct path of water from the soil through the plant to the atmosphere:
| 1. | endodermis- cortex - epidermis - vessel elements - intercellular spaces in mesophyll - stomata. |
| 2. | epidermis - cortex - Casparian strip - endodermis - sieve cells - intercellular spaces in the mesophyll - stomata. |
| 3. | Casparian strip - root hairs - epidermis - cortex - xylem - endodermis - intercellular spaces in mesophyll - stomata. |
| 4. | root hairs - cortex - endodermis - vessel elements - intercellular spaces in mesophyll - stomata. |
