Which one of the following statement is
wrong?
Options
Water is absorbed mainly by
unicellular root hairs
Cellulosic cell wall is a semi
permeable membrane
Pure water has maximum diffusic
pressure
Facilitated diffusion requires
special membrane proteins
Choose the statements that apply to transpiration in the cohesion-tension theory. (Check all
that apply)
Check All That Apply
The H-bonds in water allow for cohesion.
Water pressure builds in roots to drive water up the plant.
Exposed water in leaves evaporates into drier air.
Water forms a continuous stream from leaf into the root.
In addition to water, heat is lost cooling the plant during transpiration.
An important factor for plants is the amount of water lost for each molecule of carbon dioxide absorbed. How could he plant be harmed if it loses a lot of water for each carbon dioxide molecule, that is, if the ratio is too high?
