radial movement
all of these
4. According to Transpiration pull theory, which are the major factors responsible for ascent of sap through xylem?
turgor pressure and osmosis
cohesion, adhesion and transpiration pull
Transpiration pull and root pressure
cohesion, adhesion and osmosis
5. All the following are objections against root pressure theory of ascent of sap except
guttation and bleeding
ascent of sap in unrooted plants
Absence of root pressure in conifer trees
low absorption in detopped plants than plants with leaves on top
6. The movement of water through cell wall and inter cellular spaces during radial transport from root hair to root xylem through root cortex is called
vacoular pathway
ascent of sap
apoplastic pathway
symplastic pathway
7. Movement of solutes through phloem is always from
sugar sink to source
sugar source to sink
leaf to phloem
leaf to xylem through sieve tubes
