- Keeping in mind the root hair, cell and its surroundings, name the parts that correspond to
- concentrated sugar solution
- parchment paper
- water in the beaker
- Name any other material that can be used instead of parchment paper in the above experiment.
- Mention two advantages of the process for the plants.
Name the following:
Two solutions having same concentrations.
Choose the correct answer:
Grapes when placed in a strong sugar solution shrink because of __________
In an experiment, two sets of apparatus were set up as shown below:
In A there is a concentrated sugar solution inside the thistle funnel and red ink in the water outside the funnel. In B there is a concentrated glucose solution with red ink inside the thistle funnel and water outside the thistle funnel.
In both A and B the level of liquid inside the funnels rises up the tubes. In A the sugar solution turns red and in B, the water turns red.
Study the given observations and answer these questions:

- Name the process by which red ink moves in A and B.
- Which type of pressure forces the water molecules to move towards thistle funnels and cause a rise in the water level?
- Where does this process occur in plants and animals?
- What material could be used as a semi-permeable membrane?
