Cohesion | |
Capillarity | |
Surface tension | |
Adhesion |
Question 3 |
Which of the following is not a purpose of transpiration?
Supplies water for photosynthesis | |
Helps in translocation of sugars from source to sink | |
Maintains shape and structure of the plants | |
Transports minerals from the soil to all parts of the plant |
Question 4 |
A soil sample is found to have 25% of its volume occupied by soil water. Of this, 10% is hygroscopic water and .the remaining is capillary water. What is the field capacity of this soil?
10% | |
15% | |
25% | |
35% |
Question 5 |
When the conditions are dry, a grass leaf curls inward to minimize water loss due to presence of
Thick cuticle | |
Large xylem cavities | |
Parallel venation | |
Bulliform cells |
Question 6 |
Cohesion theory of water movement in plants was put forth by
Henry Dixon | |
F. F. Blackman | |
Melvin cycle | |
Hans. A. Krebs |
Question 7 |
Which of the following force is responsible for raising water up to 100 m of tall plants?
Root pressure | |
Capillary action | |
Transpiration pull | |
Air pressure |
Question 8 |
The first process by which water enters into the seed coat when a seed is placed in suitable environment for germination is
Osmosis | |
Imbibition | |
Absorption | |
None of these |
Question 9 |
When the concentration of the soil solutes is low, the absorption of water is
Remain normal | |
Decreased | |
Increased | |
Stopped |
Question 10 |
When pea seeds and wheat grains are soaked in water, pea seeds showed more swelling than the wheat. The reason is
Cell membrane of pea seeds is more permeable | |
Presence of less hydrophilic colloids in the wheat grains | |
Imbibition capacity of proteins is more than that of starch | |
Cell walls of wheat grains are less permeable |
Question 11 |
Which one of the following denotes the water potential of the mesophyll cell in wilted condition?
Greater than the value of its osmotic potential | |
Equal to the value of pressure potential | |
Equal to the value of osmotic potential | |
Equal to zero |
Question 12 |
Identify the correct relationship with reference to water potential of a plant cell.
ψw = ψm + ψs + ψp | |
ψw = ψm + (ψs – ψp) | |
ψw = ψm – (ψs + ψp) | |
ψw = ψm – ψs – ψp |
Question 13 |
Study the following lists and choose the correct option.
The correct match is :
List - I | List - II | ||
A. | Water potential of 10% salt solution | I. | Positive |
B. | Pressure potential in a normal cell | II. | Negative |
C. | Pressure potential in a plasmolysed cell | III. | Positive |
C. | Metric potential on the surface of the wood | IV. | Negative |
V. | Zero |
A - II, B - III, C - V, D - IV | |
A - III, B - IV, C - II, D - I | |
A - I, B - II, C - IV, D - III | |
A - V, B - IV, C - II, D - I |
Question 14 |
The values osmotic potential 'π' and pressure potential 'ρ' of cells A, B, C and D are given below:
Identify the correct sequence that shows the path of movement of water from among the following:
Cell | π | ρ |
Cell A | –1.0 | 0.5 |
Cell B | –0.6 | 0.3 |
Cell C | –1.2 | 0.6 |
Cell D | –0.8 | 0.4 |
D → C → A → B | |
B → D → A → C | |
B → C → D → A | |
C → B → A → D |
Question 15 |
Study the following table:
(I) Peperomia - Leaf succulent - Leaf epidermal cells store water
(II) Calotropis - Non-succulent - Root cells with thickened cell walls
(III) Tribulus - Ephemeral - Stem stores water
(IV) Ammophila - Dicot plant - Rolling in of leaves to check water loss
Identify the correct pair of answers.
I, II | |
I, III | |
II, III | |
II, IV |
