Statement I: | Plant growth and development is intimately linked to the water status of the plant. |
Statement II: | The plant cells grow in size by cell enlargement which in turn requires water. |

3. | Statement I is correct; Statement II is incorrect |
4. | Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is incorrect |
Assertion (A): | Plant development is considered 'open' because plants retain the ability to form new organs throughout their life. |
Reason (R): | Plants exhibit phenotypic plasticity. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |

4. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
Assertion (A): | Plant growth and development is intimately linked to the water status of the plant. |
Reason (R): | Plant can loose a significant amount of water through transpiration. |

Assertion (A): | Water is essential for the growth of plants |
Reason (R): | Water pressure (turgor pressure) within cells drives cell expansion and growth. |
