The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of selecting an incorrect statement regarding transport in plants, we will analyze each statement provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Diffusion**: - The first statement claims that "diffusion is the movement of molecules by random thermal agitation." - **Analysis**: This statement is correct. Diffusion involves the movement of molecules from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration due to random thermal motion. 2. **Reiterating Diffusion**: - The second statement is similar to the first, stating the same definition of diffusion. - **Analysis**: This statement is also correct for the same reasons as the first. 3. **Transmembrane Proteins and Channels**: - The third statement mentions that "channels are transmembrane proteins that function as selective modes." - **Analysis**: This statement is correct. Transmembrane proteins, including channels, facilitate the selective transport of substances across the membrane. 4. **Aquaporins and Their Function**: - The fourth statement states that "aquaporins form hydrophobic transmembrane channels for the passage of water." - **Analysis**: This statement is incorrect. Aquaporins are indeed transmembrane proteins that facilitate the passage of water, but they form hydrophilic channels, not hydrophobic ones. ### Conclusion: - The incorrect statement is the fourth one, which mischaracterizes the nature of aquaporins. ### Final Answer: - The incorrect statement is: "Aquaporins form hydrophobic transmembrane channels for the passage of water." ---
