The process responsible for facilitating loss of water in liquid form from the tip of grass blades at night and in early morning is:     [2020]

Detailed Solution for 31 Years NEET Previous Year Questions: Transport in Plants - 1 (Old NCERT) - Question 2

Root pressure (positive pressure)  can be responsible for pushing up water to small heights in the stem. “It also observable at night and early morning when evaporation is low, and excess water collects in the form of droplets around special openings of veins near the tip of grass blades, and leaves of many herbaceous parts.
 


Such water loss in its liquid phase is known as guttation. Imbibition is the adsorption leading to absorption of water by hydrophillic substances. Plasmolysis is the shrinking of the cell membrane and cytoplasm when a cell is undergoing exosmosis. The loss of water in the form of water vapor from the aerial parts of the plant is called transpiration.

Due to low atmospheric pressure, the rate of transpiration will

Detailed Solution for 31 Years NEET Previous Year Questions: Transport in Plants - 1 (Old NCERT) - Question 4

By the process of diffusion, water travels from high to low pressure. If atmospheric pressure is low, water will move out of the plant into the atmosphere as water vapour. Plants will lose water at higher rates by transpiration process. Hence, at low atmospheric pressure, the rate of transpiration increases. 

31 Years NEET Previous Year Questions: Transport in Plants - 1 (Old NCERT) - Question 5

Which of the following criteria does not pertain to facilitated transport? [NEET 2013]

Detailed Solution for 31 Years NEET Previous Year Questions: Transport in Plants - 1 (Old NCERT) - Question 5

Substance that have a hydrophilic moiety, find it difficult to pass through the membrane, their movement has to be facilitated by the membrane protein without  expenditure of ATP energy. Facilitated diffusion cannot cause net transport of molecules from a low to a high concentration or uphill transport. Transport rate reaches a maximum when all of the protein transporters are being used (saturation). Facilitated diffusion is very specific.

31 Years NEET Previous Year Questions: Transport in Plants - 1 (Old NCERT) - Question 9

The rupture and fractionation do not usually occur in the water column in vessel/tracheids during the ascent of sap because of [2008]

Detailed Solution for 31 Years NEET Previous Year Questions: Transport in Plants - 1 (Old NCERT) - Question 9

The rupture and fractionation do not usually occur in the water column in vessel/ tracheids during the ascent of sap because of cohesion and tension. The water molecules have a great mutual attraction with each other or in other words we can say that they have tremendous cohesive power which is sometimes as much as 350  atmospheres. Thus, the transpiration pull develops a negative pressure in the uppermost xylem cells. It is transmitted from there into the xylem of stems, and from there into the xylem of stems, and from there to the roots.

The translocation of organic solutes in sieve tube members is supported by [2006]

Detailed Solution for 31 Years NEET Previous Year Questions: Transport in Plants - 1 (Old NCERT) - Question 12

Munch's Mass Flow Hypothesis is the theory which explains the flow of food materials through the phloem from the higher concentration regions to lower concentration regions. The force is needed to move organic food materials downwards in the phloem. The energy for the translocation of the food is provided by the ATP which acts as a ligand to the sucrose and hydrogen ion symporter and allows the movement of the food through the sieve tubes. 

Thus, the correct answer is option A

The ability of the Venus fly trap to capture insects is due to: [2005]

Detailed Solution for 31 Years NEET Previous Year Questions: Transport in Plants - 1 (Old NCERT) - Question 15

Bending of tentacles in Venus fly trap or Drosera after coming in contact with an insect is thigmonastic or chemonastic movement of variation or Turgor movements.
The mechanism by which the trap snaps shut involves a complex interaction between elasticity, turgor and growth. In the open, untripped state, the lobes are convex , but in the closed state, the lobes are concave  It is the rapid flipping of this bistable state that closes the trap, but the mechanism by which this occurs is still poorly understood. When the trigger hairs are stimulated, an action potential  involving calcium ions is generated, which propagates across the lobes and stimulates cells in the lobes and in the midrib between them

31 Years NEET Previous Year Questions: Transport in Plants - 1 (Old NCERT) - Question 18

When water moves through a semi permeable membrane then which of the following pressure develops? [2001]

Detailed Solution for 31 Years NEET Previous Year Questions: Transport in Plants - 1 (Old NCERT) - Question 18

The pressure required to stop the flow of pure water into a solution across a semi permeable membrane is a characteristic of the solution, and is called the osmotic pressure. Thus water will move from a region oflow osmotic pressure to a region of high osmotic pressure. Turgor pressure is the hydrostatic pressure set up within a cell by the water present acting against the elasticity of the wall. Suction pressure when referred to a cell, is the force which is available for taking in water.
