Diffusion is very important to plants since:
1. The cells have a permeable cell wall
2. It is the only means for gaseous movement within the plant body.
3. Plants cannot transport material by active transport.
4. They are unable to move towards the source of the nutrients.
Difficulty Level:
Which of the following is not a characteristic of facilitated transport in plants?
1. Requirement of special membrane proteins
2. Being non-selective
3. Transport saturates
4. It is a downhill transport
Difficulty Level:
If a pressure greater than atmospheric pressure is applied to a solution, its water potential:
1. Increases
2. Decreases
3. Remains same
4. Becomes zero
Difficulty Level:
Water movement in plants is:
1. Down a potential gradient in apoplast and up the potential gradient in symplast
2. Down a potential gradient in symplast and up the potential gradient in apoplast
3. Up the potential gradient in both apoplast and symplast
4. Down the potential gradient in both apoplast and symplast
Difficulty Level:

2. Transport proteins of endodermal cell
3. Sclerenchyma around the pericycle
4. The root hairs themselves
Difficulty Level:
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
Difficulty Level:
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 by passive transport.
2. The loading of sugar at source is by passive transport and unloading at the sink 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.
