Which of the following helps in uptaking of water and minerals from root:
a. Tropic Movement.
b. Transportation.
c. Translocation.
d. Transpiration.
Answers
Answer:
(b) Transportation
Explanation:
Definition for :- (a) Tropic Movement - Tropic movement is the movement of the plant in response to the stimulus present in the environment, this movement is in response to root and shoot growth. They are mainly of five types: Phototropism - It is the movement of a plant in response to light, they will grow towards the direction of the light.
Definition for :- (b) Transportation - Plants have tissues to transport water, nutrients and minerals. Xylem transports water and mineral salts from the roots up to other parts of the plant, while phloem transports sucrose and amino acids between the leaves and other parts of the plant.
Definition for :- (c) Translocation- Translocation is a type of chromosomal abnormality in which a chromosome breaks and a portion of it reattaches to a different chromosome. Chromosomal translocations can be detected by analyzing karyotypes of the affected cells.
Definition for :- (d) Transpiration - Transpiration is the process of water movement through a plant and its evaporation from aerial parts, such as leaves, stems and flowers. Water is necessary for plants but only a small amount of water taken up by the roots is used for growth and metabolism. The remaining 97–99.5% is lost by transpiration and guttation.
So according to the Question I think the Answer should be (b) option.
You can even judge I have given the definitions .
