Roots obtain oxygen from air in the soil...

Roots obtain oxygen from air in the soil for respiration. In the absence or deficiency of oxygen `(O_2)`, root growth is restricted or completely stopped. How do the plants growing in swamps obtain their oxygen required for root respiration?

### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Problem**: - Roots of plants typically obtain oxygen from the air in the soil for respiration. However, in swampy areas, the soil is saturated with water, leading to a deficiency of oxygen for the roots. 2. **Identifying the Adaptation**: - Plants that grow in swamps have developed special adaptations to cope with the low oxygen levels. One of these adaptations is the formation of specialized roots known as pneumatophores. ...

Roots obtain oxgyen from air soil for respiration , In the absence or deficiency of O_(2) , root growth is restricted or completely stopped. How do the plants growing in marsh lands or swamps obtain their O_(2) required for root respiration ?

In some plants growing in swampy areas, many roots come out of the ground vertically upwards to get oxygen for respiration. Such roots are

The colours of the transition metal are due to d-d excitation. The energy required for d-d electron axcitation is available in the visible range. Transition metal ions have the tendency to absorb certain rediations from the visible region and exhibit the complementary colour. The transition metal ions which have completely filled d-orbitals are colourless as the excitation of electron or electrons is not possible within d-orbitals. The transition metal ions which have completely empthy d-orbitals are also colourless. In KMnO_4 and K_2Cr_2O_7 , there are no unpaired electrons at the central atom but they are dep in colour. The colour of these compounds is due to charge transfer spectrum. for example in MnO_4 electron is momentrily transferred from O to the metal and thuys oxygen changes from O^(2-) and O^(ɵ) maganese from Mn^(7+) to Mn^(6+) . Q. Which of the following is paramagnetic as well as coloured ion?
