Which of the following scenarios would result in the LEAST efficient water absorption by a plant's roots?

    In symplast pathway of water movement, water passes from cell to cell, whose cytoplasm are connected through

Water enters the root hair cells by:

The tensile strength of the water column in xylem is crucial for upward water movement in plants. This strength is primarily a result of which intermolecular interaction?

The guttation phenomenon observed in some plants is primarily driven by:

Imagine a thin glass tube dipped in water. The water rises in the tube due to adhesion. In tall trees, a similar phenomenon helps maintain the water column, but a different property of water plays the major role in preventing the column from breaking under its own weight. What is this property?

A plant with a higher concentration of solutes in its root cells compared to the surrounding soil will:

Select the incorrect statement w.r.t. apoplast pathway of absorption of water in plants.

    Which pathway applies least resistance to the movement of water?

    Identify true and false statements and select the correct option from the codes given below

I.    As suction pressure increases, water absorption also increases which in turn increases the absorption of ions

II.    Absorption of ions is affected by transpiration pull

III.    Large amount of charged particles are absorbed along with absorption of water

IV.    Pressure flow hypothesis depends entirely on the existence of mechanism for loading sugars into phloem at the source region and unloading it at the sink

V.    Contents in the sieve tube move undirectionally

    Water occur freely in previous rocks and deep in soil above the impermeable strata is
