Transport in Plants · Question 3

"Girdling Experiment" was performed by Plant Physiologists to identify the plant tissue through which:

1. water is transported
2. food is transported
3. for both water and food transportation
4. osmosis is observed

Which of the following is not observed during apoplastic pathway?

1. Movement of water occurs through intercellular spaces and wall of the cells
2. The movement does not involve crossing of cell membrane
3. The movement is aided by cytoplasmic streaming
4. Apoplast is continuous and does not provide any barrier to water movement

Addition of more solutes in a given solution will:

1. raise its water potential
2. lower its water potential
3. make its water potential zero
4. not affect the water potential at all

When a carrier protein facilitates the movement of two molecules across the membrane in same direction, it is called
