Mass flow seems to be the prominent mode of transport during
1. Translocation of organic solutes within phloem.
2. translocation of water and minerals in xylem
3. Apolplastic movement of water in plants
4. All of the above
Consider the following two statements:
I. The direction of movement in the phloem is bi-directional.
II. The source-sink relationship in plants is variable.
1. Both I and II are correct and II explains I
2. Both I and II are correct but II does not explain I
3. I is correct but II is incorrect
4. Both I and II are incorrect
The most abundant solute in the phloem sap is :
1. Potassium ions
2. Sucrose
3. Glucose
4. Starch
Which one of the following elements in plants is not remobilised?
1. Calcium
2. Potassium
3. Sulphur
4. Phosphorus
Phloem sap is mainly:-
1. Water and osmotically inactive disaccharides only
2. Water and PGRs only
3. Water and osmotically active disaccharides
4. Minerals and PGRs only
The form of sugar transported through phloem is
1. glucose
2. fructose
3. sucrose
4. ribose
Phloem sap in the plants mainly consists of :
1. fructose and water
2. fructose and sucrose
3. glucose and water
4. sucrose and water
| I: | The process of translocation through phloem is unidirectional but through xylem, it is bidirectional |
| II: | The most readily mobilized elements are phosphorus, sulphur, nitrogen and potassium. |
During translocation of sugars in plants from source to sink:
1. The loading of sugar at source is by active transport and unloading at the sink is by passive transport.
2. The loading of sugar at source is by passive transport and unloading at the sink is by active transport.
3. Both loading at the source and unloading at the sink are by active transport.
4. Both loading at the source and unloading at the sink are by passive transport.
Continuity of protoplasm in sieve elements is maintained through
1. Cytoplasmic strands
2. P proteins
3. Vacuoles
4. Walls
