Most of the water flow in the roots occurs via the apoplast since the cortical cells are closely packed

Which of the following is true/false regarding transport of substances in plants ? (i) Mass flow is the movement of substances in bulk as a result of pressure difference (ii) Bulk flow is achieved only through a positive hydrostatic pressure gradient (iii) The apoplast system is the system of interconnected protoplasts (iv) Most of the water flow in the roots occurs via the apoplast since the cortical cells are loosely packed, and offer no resistance to water movement.

Statement-1 : When a cell is placed in hypertonic solution, it shrinks. Statement : 2 Reverse osmosis is used for desalination of water.

Immerse a living cell in a hypotonic solution, and water will tend to (a) move into the cell (b) show no net movement (c) move out of the cell (d) move in by endocytosis

State whether the following statement is true or false. A hypertonic solution has a water concentration greater than that is found inside the cell. A. True B. False

Let the plasma cell wall of shark is a semipermeable membrane. When these cells were kept in a series of NaCl solution of different concentration at 25^(@)C these cells remain intact in 0.7% ((w)/(w)) NaCl solution, shrank in more concetrated solution and swelled in dilute solution. What is the osmotic pressure of the cell cytoplasm at 25^(@)C ? given K_(f) of water =1.86kgmol^(-1)K and water freezes from the 0.7%((w)/(w)) salt solution at -0.418^(@)C . Assume solution is dilute in each case. Give your answer to nearest integer. (R=0.0atm(L)/(molK))

Study the statements (a-d) given below & select the correct option w.r.t transport in plants. (a) Transpiration pull model is the most acceptable to explain the transport of water. (b) The translocation in phloem is not explained by pressure flow hypothesis. (c) Diffusion is a slow process and is dependent on a 'living system'. (d) A C4 plant loses only half as much water as a C3 plant for the same amount of Co2 fixed.

Entry of water into a cell causes swelling of protoplast due to (a) DPD (b) Osmotic pressure (c) Imbibition (d) Turgor pressure

The osomotic pressure pi depends on the molar concentration of the solution (pi=CRT) . If two solutions are of equal solute concentration and, hence, have the same omotic pressure, they are said to be isotonic. If two solutions are of unequal osmotic pressures, the more concentrated solution is said to be hypertonic and the more diluted solution is described as hypotonic. Osmosis is the major mechanism for transporting water upward in the plants. Answer the following questions: A plant cell shrinks when it is kept in:
