Salinization occurs when the irrigation water accumulated in the soil evapo-rates, leaving behind salts and minerals. What are the effects of salinization on the irrigated land? (1) It greatly increases the crop production (2) It makes some soils impermeable (3) It raises the water table (4) It fills the air spaces in the soil with water

Assertion :- Most of the water flow in major part of roots occurs via the apoplastic path. Reason:- Cortex, largest region of root offer no resistance to water due to intercellular space

Before starting out on a long drive , you check the air in you car's tires to make sure they are properly inflated . The pressure gauge reads 209 k Pa, and temperature is 37^@ C. after a few hours of highway driving you stop and check the pressure again . Now the gauge reads 239 kPa. what is the temperature of the air in the tires now ? Assume that the volume of the tire remains constant .

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.
