In root hair, water enters due to

Assertion (A) Most mineral must enter the root by the active absorption into the cytoplasm of epidermal cells. Reason (R ) This transportation needs energy in the form of ATP . Some ions also move into the epidermal cells passively.

The only way for water and solute molecules to enter the vascular cylinder is

As various ions from the soil are actively transported into the vascular tissues of roots, then water follows (it's potential gradient) and increase the pressure inside the xylem. This positive pressure is called.

Water and minerals are carried from roots to leaves by _____.

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

A horizontal cylinderical tank (6)/(pi)m in diameter is half full of water. The space above the water is filled with a pressurized gas of unknown refractive index. A small laser can move along the curved bottom of the water and aims a light beam towards the centre of the water surface. When the laser has moved a distance s=1m or more (measured from curved face) from the lowest point in water, no light enters the gas. The refractive index of gas is (mu_("water") = 4//3)

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.

A : Most minerals must enter the root by active absorption into the cytoplasm of epidermal cells. R : Minerals are present in the soil as charged particles.
