NEET Botany Transport in Plants How Do Plants Absorb Water MCQs

A plant with a mutation that disables aquaporins in its root cells would likely exhibit:

The column of water within xylem vessels of tall redwood trees can reach remarkable heights without breaking. What primary property of water contributes to this phenomenon?

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?

Which force is primarily responsible for the continuous water column within the xylem vessels of plants, enabling them to transport water against gravity?

If the cohesive forces between water molecules were significantly weaker, what would be the most likely consequence for tall trees?

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?

    Which pathway applies least resistance to the movement of water?

One factor responsible for water rise up to 100 m of tall plant, is

    In which of the following path, flow of water occurs from cell to cell through their protoplasm?

    What are the location of casparian strips-which interrupts the movement of water inside a root?
