With the help of well-labelled diagrams, describe the process of plasmolysis in plants, giving appropriate examples.
(b) Explain what will happen to a plant cell if it is kept in a solution having higher water potential.
Water vapour comes out from the plant leaf through stomatal opening. through the same stomatal opening. carbon dioxide diffuses into the plant during photosynthesis. Reason out the above statements using the following options
Both processes can happen together because the diffusion coefficient of water and CO2 is different
The above processes happen only during night time
One process occurs during day time and other at night
One process occurs during day time and other at night
A.
Both processes can happen together because the diffusion coefficient of water and CO2 is different
Diffusion of water vaour and C02 are an independent process. Their diffusion depends on the difference in their ppartial pressure in the atmosphere as well as inside the leaves.
Which of the following criteria dows not pertain to facilitate transport?
Requirement of special membrane proteins
High selectivity
Transport saturation
Transport saturation
