Question

1. Name the following:
(a) The condition of a cell placed in a hypotonic solution.
(b) The process by which intact plants lose water in the
form of droplets from leaf margins.
(c) The process by which water enters root hairs.
(d) The tissue concerned with upward conduction of water
in plants.
(e) The term for the inward movement of solvent
molecules through the plasma membrane of a cell.
(f) The process by which molecules distribute themselves
evenly within the space they occupy.
(g) The pressure which is responsible for the movement
of water molecules across the cortical cells of the root.​

Answer 1

Answer:

1) The condition of a cell placed in hypotonic solution -> Turgid .

2) The process by which plants loose water in the form of droplets from leaf margins -> Transpiration .

3) The process by which water enters root hairs -> Osmosis .

4) The tissue with upward conduction of water -> Xylem.

5) The term for inward movement of solvent molecules through the plasma membrane of a cell -> Diffusion.

6) The process by molecules distribute themselves evenly within the space and occupy. -> Diffusion.

7) The pressure which is responsible for the movement of water molecules across the cortical cells of roots. -> Root pressure .

Additional information

€ Osmosis : The movement of water. molecules from higher concentration to lower concentration through a semi permiable membrane .

€ Diffusion : The movement of solvent from higher concentration to lower concentration until it reached equibrium.

€ Transpiration : The process through plants loose water in the form of droplets from leaf margins.
