Assertion (A) : Mangrove excrete salt through glands in their leaves.
Reason (R ) : These amazing trees and shrubs cope with sal. Salt water can kill plants, so mangroves must extract fresh water from the sea water.

Can mangrove trees grow in salt water?

Can mangrove trees grow in salt water? Explain.

Assertion (A) : Sap wood is vital to the plant but heart wood is not . Reason (R ) : When the heart wood of the tree is destroyed, no vital function of the plant is affected , when the sap wood is destroyed the plant will die, conduction of water is blocked.

The process of eveporation is not a good technique to separate salt from sea water. Give reason.

Assertion (A) : Abscission is a physiological process of shedding of organs like leaves, flowers fruits and seeds from the parent plant body. Reason (R ) : When leaves, flowers, fruits and seeds are removed, the plant seals off its vascular system to prevent loss of water and nutrients.

Consider a tank which initially holds V_(0) liter of brine that contains a lb of salt. Another brine solution, containing b lb of salt per liter is poured into the tank at the rate of eL//"min" . The problem is to find the amount of salt in the tank at any time t. Let Q denote the amount of salt in the tank at any time. The time rate of change of Q, (dQ)/(dt) , equals the rate at which salt enters the tank at the rate at which salt leaves the tank. Salt enters the tank at the rate of be lb/min. To determine the rate at which salt leaves the tank, we first calculate the volume of brine in the tank at any time t, which is the initial volume V_(0) plus the volume of brine added et minus the volume of brine removed ft. Thus, the volume of brine at any time is V_(0)+et-ft The concentration of salt in the tank at any time is Q//(V_(0)+et-ft) , from which it follows that salt leaves the tank at the rate of f(Q/(V_(0)+et-ft)) lb/min. Thus, (dQ)/(dt)=be-f(Q/(V_(0)+et-ft))Q=be A tank initially holds 100 L of a brine solution containing 20 lb of salt. At t=0, fresh water is poured into the tank at the rate of 5 L/min, while the well-stirred mixture leaves the tank at the same rate. Then the amount of salt in the tank after 20 min.
