Question : Select the option which correctly satisfies the same relationship. Stomata : Transpiration : : Hydathode :"_______"

Answer»

Guttation
Root pressure
Bleeding
Oozing

Solution : The process of exudation of liquid drops from the edges of leaves is CALLED guttation. USUALLY it occurs through stomata-like pores called hydathodes. It is this process by which fully turgid PLANTS remove EXTRA water. The cause of guttation is mainly root pressure (when the root pressure is high and rate of transpiration is low guttation TAKES place). Hydathodes are stomata-like pores generally present at the tips or margins of leaves of those plants that grow in moist shady places `(e.g., Tropaeolum).`

Question : Select the incorrect statement regarding imbibition.

Answer»

Imbibition is the phenomenon of adsorption of water or any other liquid WITHOUT FORMING solution
The liquid which is IMBIBED is called as imbibate.
There occus a decrease in volume of imbibant during imbibition.
water is absorbed by GERMINATING seeds through imbibtion.

Solution : the adsorption of water by the solid particles or an adsorbent causing it to enormously increase in volume without forming a solution is called imbibition. Solid substances or adsorbent which take PART in imbibition are called imbibants `e.g,` seeds dry wood the liquid (usually water) which is imbibed is known as imbibate. the imbibate is held in between and over the surface of particles of the solid substance through the processes of capillarity and adsorption . the swelling imbibant also develops a pressure called imbibition pressure (matric potential).
