With increase in turgity of a cell surrounded by water, the wall pressure will:

  1. increase

  2. decrease

  3. fluctuate

  4. remain unchanged


Correct Option: A

Osmosis is defined as the process in which:

  1. wter diffuses from lower concentration to higher concentration

  2. solutes diffuse from lower concentration to higher concentration

  3. active transport of ions take place

  4. passive transport of ions take place


Correct Option: A

Exudation of xylem sap on cutting the shoot is due to

  1. transpiration

  2. guttation

  3. root pressure

  4. none of the above


Correct Option: D

Loss of turgor from the cells causes drooping of leaves during day, but they recover from it at night. This is called

  1. temporary wilting

Correct Option: A

Root pressure is maximum when

  2. Stomata opens suddenly

  3. Transpiration will not be affected

  4. Decrease in transpiration due to sudden closure of stomata


Correct Option: D

Plants will undergo wilting under which one of these conditions?

  1. High temperature

  2. High humidity

  3. Heavy rainfall

  4. Absorption of water


Correct Option: A
