QUESTION 1
Which of the following statements best describes the role of transpiration in
water transport in plants?
A. Transpiration only occurs in the roots to absorb water from the soil.
B. Transpiration is the process by which water is transported from the leaves to the
roots.
C. Transpiration involves the evaporation of water from plant leaves, creating a pull
that aids in water transport.
D. Transpiration prevents the uptake of mineral ions at the root hair cells.
QUESTION 2
How does the cohesion-tension theory explain water transport against gravity
in plants?
A. Water molecules sticking together create tension, which pushes water upwards.
B. Cohesion between water molecules and tension created by transpiration enable
water transport.
C. Cohesion causes water molecules to separate, reducing tension and allowing
water transport.
D. Tension between water molecules breaks their cohesion, facilitating water
movement.
QUESTION 3
What is the primary role of xylem vessels in the transport of water in plants?
A. Absorbing water from the soil.
B. Facilitating gas exchange for photosynthesis.
C. Conducting water and minerals from roots to leaves.
D. Storing water for later use.
QUESTION 4
Which of the following factors primarily contributes to the movement of water
into the roots of plants?
A. Transpiration pull from the leaves.
B. Active uptake of mineral ions at the root hair cells.
C. Evaporation of water from the soil.
D. Adhesion of water molecules to xylem vessels.
QUESTION 5
How does the adhesive property of water contribute to its transport in plants?
A. It causes water molecules to stick to each other, creating a continuous water
column.
B. It allows water molecules to stick to the walls of the xylem vessels, aiding in
upward movement.
C. It prevents water molecules from sticking to the walls of the xylem vessels.
D. It reduces the tension forces generated by evaporation in leaf cells.
