Question

In the elongation phase of growth, synthesis of protoplasm and increase in solute concentration result in ____________.

Options

• Exosmosis

• Wilting

• Plasmolysis

• Endosmosis

Answer 1

In the elongation phase of growth, synthesis of protoplasm and increase in solute concentration result in Endosmosis.

Explanation:

Endosmosis is the transport of molecules across a membrane inside; exosmosis is the movement of molecules outward. Plasmolysis is the squeezing of protoplasm outside the cell due to a hypertonic situation. Low water levels in plants cause wilting.
