In rooted plants, transport I xylem (of water and minerals) is essentially (A)____ from roots to the stems. Organic and mineral nutrients however under (B)____ transport.

[A]: Xylem translocates water and dissolved mineral salts from the roots to the rest of the plant. [R]: Phoem translocates dissolved organic and inorganic solutes

Assertion : Water and mineral uptake by root hairs from the soil occur through apoplast until it reaches endodermis Reason : Casparian strips in endodermis are suberized.

Water and minerals that cross the cortex through the Symplast move:

Name the plants where buds appear on roots and leaves.

Water transport from roots to leaves is explained by (a) the pressure flow theory (b) differences in source and sink solute concentrations (c) the pumping force of xylem vessels (d) the cohesion-tension theory

Which of the following statements is/are incorrect? (i) Water and minerals, and food are generally moved by a mass or bulk flow system. (ii) Bulk flow can be achieved either through a positive hydrostatic pressure gradient or a negative hydrostatic pressure gradient. (iii) The bulk movement of substances through the conducting tissues of plants is called translocation. (iv) Xylem translocates organic and inorganic solutes, mainly from roots to the aerial parts of the plants. (v) Phloem translocates water, mineral salts, some organic nitrogen and hormones, from the leaves to other parts of the plants.
