Water vapour comes out from the plant leaf through the stomatal opening. Through the same stomatal opening carbon dioxide diffuses into the plant during photosynthesis. Reason out the above statements using the following options.

A

Both processes can happen together because the diffusion coefficient of water and `CO_(2)` is different

B

The above processes happen only during night time.

C

One process occurs during day time , and the other at night .

D

Both processes cannot happen simultaneously

Most of the water lost by the plant through transpiration exits through the stomatal pores . Which of the following statements about transpiration and stomatal functioning is false ?

Go through the following statements (i) In geometr,ic growth, following mitotic cell division, only one daughter cell con- tinues to divide while the other differen- tiates and mature. (ii) The ability of plants to follow different pathways in response to environment or phases of life to to.rm different kinds of structures, is called plasticity. (iii) The mathematical expression for arith- metic growth is Lt = L_0 + rt while for geo- metric growth, it is W_1=W_0=W_(0)e^(rt) (iv) The form of growth wherein new cells are always being added to the plant body by the activity of the meristem, is called the open form of growth. Which of these are correct .

In the atmosphere, carbon dioxide is found in two forms, i.e., ^12CO_2 and ^14CO_2 . Plants absord CO_2 during photosynthesis in presence of chlorophyll, plants synthesise glucose 6CO_2 +6 H_2O rarr C_6H_12O_6 + 6O_2uarr Half life of ^14CO_2 is 5760 years. The analysis of wooden artifacts for ^14C and ^12C gives useful information for determination of its age. All living organisms, because of their constant exchange of Carbon dioxide with the surroundings have the same ratio of C-14 to C-12, i.e. 1.3xx10^-12 . When an organism dies, the C-14 in it keeps on decaying as follows: 6^14Crarr7^14N+(-1)^0e +Energy Thus, the ratio of C-14 and C-12 decreases with the passage of time. We can measure the proportion of C-14 in the remains of dead organism and determine how long ago it died. The method of carbon dating can be used to date anything made or organic matter, e.g., bone, skeleton, wood, etc. Using carbon dating, materials have been dated to about 50,000 years with accuracy. C-14 exists in atmosphere due to:

Find the correct pair of statements (i) Influx of Cl- into guard cells during stomatal opening is active. (ii) Entry of sucrose from companion cells into sieve tubes at source involves expenditure of energy (iii) At the sinks sucrose moves out of phloem by passive transport (iv) Efflux of K^(+) from guard cells during stomatal closure does not involve energy expenditure

Identify the correct statements and find out the correct combination ? 1. Accumulation of K^(+) ions in guard cells does not require energy 2. A high pH favours stomatal opening 3. Movemant of chloride ions into guard cells is in response to electrical differential created by K^(+) ions 4. With entry of several K^(+) ions and chloride ions, water potential of guard cells increases .
