Guttation is the release of liquid water from veins at the leaf margins. It is caused by

Important Questions on Transport in Plants



In cucurbits, phloem is present on either side of xylem and separated by cambium
Impermeability of water in epidermis is due to suberin deposition
Parenchymatous conjunctive tissue is present between protophloem and metaphloem
More stomata are present on abaxial side than adaxial side in a Dorsiventral Leaf





Study the diagram and the list given below.
i) Chloroplast
ii) Epidermal cell
iii) Guard cell
iv) Subsidiary cell
v) Stomatal pore
The correct match is

Given below is a diagram of the stomatal apparatus. Match the labels with the corresponding names of the compounds.
Choose the correct combination.




Given below are two statements:
Statement I: The forces generated by transpiration can create pressures sufficient to lift a xylem sized column of water over 130 metres high.
Statement II: Transpiration cools leaf surfaces, sometimes 10 to 15 degrees, by evaporative cooling.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Find correct statements from the following
Protein transporters are responsible for maximum rates of transport under saturated state
Translocation of substances in bulk flow requires hydrostatic pressure gradient
Root pressure plays the greatest contribution for upward movement of water in tall plants
Transport proteins of endodermal cells are control points for active transport of ions in two directions
The correct answer is


Match List - I with List - II.
