What are the factors affecting the rate of diffusion?
What are porins? What role do they play in diffusion?
Describe the role played by protein pumps during active transport in plants.
Explain why pure water has the maximum water potential.
Differentiate between Diffusion and Osmosis
Differentiate between Transpiration and Evaporation
Differentiate between for Osmotic Pressure and Osmotic Potential
Differentiate between for Imbibition and Diffusion
Differentiate between Apoplast and Symplast pathways of movement of water in plants
Differentiate between Guttation and Transpiration.
Briefly describe water potential. What are the factors affecting it?
What happens when a pressure greater than the atmospheric pressure is applied to pure water or a solution?
With the help of well-labelled diagrams, describe the process of plasmolysis in plants, giving appropriate examples.
Explain what will happen to a plant cell if it is kept in a solution having higher water potential
How is the mycorrhizal association helpful in absorption of water and minerals in plants?
What role does root pressure play in water movement in plants?
Describe transpiration pull model of water transport in plants. What are the factors influencing transpiration? How is it useful to plants?
Discuss the factors responsible for ascent of xylem sap in plants
What essential role does the root endodermis play during mineral absorption in plants?
Explain why xylem transport is unidirectional and phloem transport bi-directional.
