Which of the following is true regarding water movement in plants? Water moves by osmosis from areas of high solute concentration to areas of low solute concentration None of the options are true Water moves by osmosis from the soil to the root when osmolarity is higher in the root than it is in the soil Water is actively transported through dead xylem cells Water movement is maximized when atmospheric CO2 levels are high

The ability of plants to grow tall and still transport water from their roots to their shoots is a result of evapotranspiration. Evapotranspiration is possible due to the of water molecules. O Cohesion Specific heat Density O Adhesion
Which of the following describes what happens in the ROOT HAIR cells? Mineral lons Water pass into the passes into Plant loses plant the plant water by through through transpiration active osmosis transport A Yes Yes No В Yes Yes Yes C Yes No Yes D No Yes Yes
In plants, water is transported through vessels called xylern. The cohesiveness of water molecules allows them to travel up the walls of the vessel. However, for most plants this is not enough to move the water all the way to the top of the plant. How do plants overcome the force of gravity and move water to their upper tissues ? Root hairs push water through the roots and up into the xylem. Plants absorb water through transpiration to supply their upper tissues with water . С The guard cells surrounding the stomata expand and contract, pushing water through the xylem. Water escapes from the leaves through transpiration, creating a vacuum which pulls water up the xylem.
What is the relationship between osmotic potential and plants when water with salinated water is used to water plants? E.G: How does it inhibit growth and why if the plant isn't salt tolerant

Imagine you have a plant with a water potential of -0.1 MPa in the root tissue. What would happen if you place the roots of this plant in a 0.1 M solution of sucrose (water potential is -0.23 MPa)? The net water flow would be from the tissue into the sucrose solution The net water flow would occur only as ATP was hydrolyzed in the tissue The net water flow would be from the sucrose solution into the tissue The net water flow would be in both directions and the concentration of water would remain equal The net water flow would be impossible to determine from the values given here
