Question

Select the correct statement(s) w.r.t. active absorption
of water in plants.

(a) Transpiration pull plays the major role

(b) Rate of absorption is very high

(c) It is water absorption by roots
______________________


1. All (a), (b) & (c)

2. Only (a) & (b)

3. Only (c)

4. Only (b)​

Answer 1

Answer:

1.) all a,b&c

Explanation:

If the rate of transpiration increases, the rate of absorption of water by the root increases too

Answer 2

Answer:

All statements correct w.r.t active absorption of water in plants.

Explanation:

• The roots take water from the plants due to the upward force, or transpiration pull.
• In plants, the rate of absorption is extremely high. Plants may absorb water via their entire surface, including their roots, stems, leaves, and flowers.
• Water is absorbed by the roots in sufficient amounts to compensate for water lost through transpiration. Root hairs, which extend from epidermal cells and increase surface area, assist rapid absorption.
