A plant cell placed in a certain solution got plasmolysed. What was the kind of solution?
Two potato cubes each 1 cm3 in size, were placed separately in two containers (A and B), the container A having water and the other (B) containing concentrated sugar solution. After 24 hours when the cubes were examined, those placed in water were found to be firm and had increased slightly in size and those placed in concentrated sugar solution were found to be soft and somewhat decreased in size. Use the above information to answer the questions that follow:
Name and define the physical process being investigated in this experiment.
Given below is the figure of an experimental set up to demonstrate root pressure.
(i) Define root pressure.
(ii) What change would you observe in the water level after some time?
(iii) What role is being played by the root pressure in the given experiment?
(iv) Why the oil has been sprinkled on water?
The beaker is divided into two chambers A and B. The big circle represents solute and the small circles solvent.
(i) What can you say about the size of the holes in the membrane, if it is to behave semi- permeably between these two?
(ii) Will the solvent molecules pass through the membrane from left to right, from right to left, in either direction or in both directions?
(iii) In which direction will there be a net movement of solvent molecules?
