Initial phase of ion uptake

Assertion : Water and mineral uptake by root hairs from the soil occurs through apoplast until it reaches edodermis. Reason : Mature sieve tubes have parietal cytoplasm and perforated sieve plates.

In mineral absorption , (i) There is rapid uptake of ions into free space in its first phase. (ii) Initial uptake of mineral is passive (iii) Entry or exit of ions to and from inner space does not require energy.

In two different experiments, equilibrium A(g) hArr B(g) is established by initially taking reactant only. In first experiment, reaction is carried out in absence of catalyst and in second experiment reaction is carried out in presence of catalyst, then, which of the following curve of rate us time for forward and backward reaction hold true in these two experiments ?

(a) Soil is reservoir of all mineral elements that are essential for the essential for the proper growth and development of plants. (b) Initial uptake of minerals into the symplast is slow. (c ) Uptake of minerals in inner space is rapid.

The rate of a reaction, which may also be called its velocity or speed, can be defined with relation to the concentration of any of the reacting substances, or to that of any product of the reaction. If the species chosen is a reactant which has a concentration c at time t the rate is - dc/dt, while the rate with reference to a product having a concentration x at time t is dx/dt. Any concentration units may be used for expressing the rate, thus, if moles per liter are employed for concentration and seconds for the time, the units for the rate are moles "liter"^(-1) sec^(-1) . For gas reactions pressure units are sometimes used in place of concentrations, so that legitimate units for the rate would be (mm. Hg) sec^(-1) and atm. sec^(-1) The order of a reaction concerns the dependence of the rate upon the concentrations of reacting substances, thus, if the rate is found experimentally to be proportional to the alpha^(th) power of the concentration of one of the reactants A, to the beta^(th) power of the concentration of a second reactant B, and so forth, via., rate kC_(A)^(alpha) C_(B)^(beta)" " (1) the over-all order of the reaction is simply n = alpha +beta + ---------(2) Such a reaction is said to be of the alpha^(th) order with respect to the substance A, the beta^(th) order with respect to B and so on...

In the following questions, a statement of assertion followed by a statement of reason is given. Choose the correct answer out of the following choices on the basis of the above passage. Assertion: Rate of reaction is a measure of change in concentration of reactant with respect to time. Reason: Rate of reaction is a measure of change in concentration of product with respect to time.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions: Within the 3d series, manganese exhibits oxidation states in aqueous solution from +2 to +7, ranging from Mn^(2+)(aq) to MnO_(4)^(-) (aq). Likewise, iron forms both Fe^(2+)(aq) and Fe^(3+)(aq) as well as the FeO_(4)^(2-) ion. Cr and Mn form oxyions CrO_(4)^(2-) , MnO_(4)^(-) , owing to their willingness to form multiple bonds . The pattern with the early transition metals-in the 3d series up to Mn, and for the 4d, 5d metals up to Ru and Os—is that the maximum oxidation state corresponds to the number of ‘‘outer shell’’ electrons. The highest oxidation states of the 3d metals may depend upon complex formation (e.g., the stabilization of Co^(3+) by ammonia) or upon the pH (thus MnO_(4)^(2-) (aq) is prone to disproportionation in acidic solution). Within the 3d series, there is considerable variation in relative stability of oxidation states, sometimes on moving from one metal to a neighbor, thus, for iron, Fe^(3+) is more stable than Fe^(2+) , especially in alkaline conditions, while the reverse is true for cobalt. The ability of transition metals to exhibit a wide range of oxidation states is marked with metals such as vanadium, where the standard potentials can be rather small, making a switch between states relatively easy. (Cotton, S. A. (2011). Lanthanides: Comparison to 3d metals. Encyclopedia of inorganic and Bioinorganic Chemistry.) In the following questions, a statement of assertion followed by a statement of reason is given. Choose the correct answer out of the following choices on the basis of the above passage. Assertion: Vanadium had the ability to exhibit a wide range of oxidation states. Reason: The standard potentials Vanadium are rather small, making a switch between oxidation states relatively easy.
