Question

Leaves, flowers and young shoots maintain their turgidity and stretch ability due to

(a) Osmosis

(b) Diffusion

(c) Plasmolysis

(d) Endocytosis​

Answer 1

Osmosis is the right answer

Answer 2

Leaves, flowers and young shoots maintain their turgidity and stretch ability due to (a) Osmosis

Explanation:

• Osmosis: potential in the direction that tends to equalise the solute concentrations on the two sides is referred to as osmosis.
• Diffusion: Diffusion is the movement of molecules in the presence of a concentration gradient.
• Plasmolysis: Plasmolysis is a side effect of osmosis that occurs relatively seldom in nature, but it can happen under extreme circumstances.
• Endocytosis​: Endocytosis is a biological process that involves bringing things into the cell. An region of cell membrane surrounds the material to be internalised, which then buds off inside the cell to create a vesicle containing the ingested item.
