Translocation of photosynthetic end products in seive tubes is
(1) 3-5 mm/h
(2) 3-5 cm/h
(3) 1-15 cm/h
(4) 60-100 cm/h
Girdling experiment suggests that
(1) Xylem is for water and mineral transport
(2) Phloem is for translocation of food
(3) Transport in phloem is multi directional as well
(4) The portion below the ring becomes swollen due to water
First sugar moves to
(At the time of loading of phloem)
(1) Companion cells
(2) Sieve tube cells
(3) Xylem vessels
(4) Phloem fiber
1. | osmosis is observed |
2. | water is transported |
3. | food is transported |
4. | for both water and food transportation |
Consider the two given statements regarding mass or bulk flow in plants:
Statement I: | It is a characteristic of mass flow that substances, whether in solution or in suspension, are swept along at the same pace. |
Statement II: | Bulk flow can be achieved only through a negative hydrostatic pressure gradient. |
1. | Statement I is correct; Statement II is incorrect |
2. | Statement I is correct; Statement II is correct |
3. | Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is incorrect |
4. | Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is correct |
