  • B Plasmodesmata
  • C Plastoquinone
  • D Endoplasmic reticulum

Question - 5

Two cells A and B are contiguous. A has OP = 10 atm, TP = 7 atm and DPD = 3 atm. B has OP = 8 atm, TP = 3 atm, DPD = 5 atm. The result would be :

  • B Decrease in turgidity of guard cells
  • C Radial orientation of cellulose microfibrils in the cell wall of guard cells
  • D Longitudinal orientation of cellulose microfibrils in the cell wall of guard cells

Question - 8

Guttation is the result of:

  • A Osmosis
  • B Root pressure
  • C Diffusion
  • D Transpiration

Question - 9

Rupture and fractionation of water column present in tracheary elements does not occur during ascent of sap due to :

  • A Transpiration pull
  • B Weak gravitational pull
  • C Cohesion and adhesion
  • D Lignified thick walls

Question - 10

A few drops of sap were collected by cutting across a plant stem by a suitable method. The sap was tested chemically. Which one of the following test results indicates that it is phloem sap?
