As absorbed water passes towards vascular cylinder, it must enter the cytoplasm of

Assertion (A) Most mineral must enter the root by the active absorption into the cytoplasm of epidermal cells. Reason (R ) This transportation needs energy in the form of ATP . Some ions also move into the epidermal cells passively.

A horizontal cylinderical tank (6)/(pi)m in diameter is half full of water. The space above the water is filled with a pressurized gas of unknown refractive index. A small laser can move along the curved bottom of the water and aims a light beam towards the centre of the water surface. When the laser has moved a distance s=1m or more (measured from curved face) from the lowest point in water, no light enters the gas. The refractive index of gas is (mu_("water") = 4//3)

A : Most minerals must enter the root by active absorption into the cytoplasm of epidermal cells. R : Minerals are present in the soil as charged particles.

Availability of water and minerals in the soil for maximum absorption by roots is in the -

[A]: The downward· movement of minerals through soil is effected by quantity and pH of water. [R]:. Water makes mineral ions available to roots. The lower the pH, greater the leaching power of water.

The water and minerals are usually transported in the roots by apoplast pathway up to endodermis, but later transported by symplast pathway. Give reason.
