Long Distance Transport of Water

Question

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

Easy

A

Root pressure
B

Imbibition
C

Plasmolysis
D

Transpiration

Solution

The process of guttation is caused due to root pressure. In this process water is lost from the tip of grass blade at night and in early morning.
Imbibition is a special type of diffusion when water is absorbed by solids – colloids – causing them to increase in volume.
Plasmolysis occurs when water moves out of the cell and the cell membrane of a plant cell shrinks away from its cell wall. This takes place when a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution.
Transpiration is the evaporative loss of water by plants. It occurs mainly through stomata.
