Answer :C
21354.

Question :Which of the following is true about Active transport?

Answer»

uses energy to pump molecules against the concentration gradient
is as active process
is carried out by membrane proteins
all of these.

Solution :Active transport is the transport of solute LINKED with some metabolic reaction (or reactions) INVOLVING EXPENDITURE of energy. The molecules or ions, in active transport, cross a protplasmic membrane (viz, plasma membrane, tonoplast, etc.) against the CHEMICAL POTENTIAL (concentration) gradient. This kind of transport is carried out by membrace proteins.
21355.

Question : Active transport:

Answer»

REQUIRES a carrier protein
requires a SUPPLY of ENERGY
moves a molecule against its concentration gradient
all of the above are correct

Answer :D
21356.

Question : Active transport :

Answer»

SOLUTION :It OCCURS in the opposite direction of gradient. This TRANSPORT is BASED on process action energy in which energy is used.
21357.

Question : Differentiate between: Active absorption through osmotic mechanism and Active absorption through non-osmotic mechanism.

Answer»

Solution :Active absorption OCCURS as a result of activities in the root and does not CONCERN the shoot. In this process, an expenditure of metabolic energy may be required for water absorption. Water absorbed by osmotic mechanism does not require directly an expenditure of energy. The energy is utilized in the absorption and accumulation of salts. The water movement occurs along the gradients of diffusion pressure DEFICIT (DPD). On the other hand, water absorption through non-osmotic mechanism INVOLVES direct expenditure of metabolic energy. It occurs against a diffusion pressure GRADIENT.
21358.

Question : Active and passive absorption of minerals

Answer»

Solution :In active absorption of minerals, the movement of ions across membrane TAKES place against CONCENTRATION gradient and ENERGY is consumed in the process. Whereas, in passive absorption, the movement of ions across membrane takes place ACCORDING to concentration gradient and no energy is consumed in the process. A SPECIFIC carrier is involved in active absorption whereas no carrier is involved in passive absorption.

Question : Activation of B-lymphocytes is done by

Answer»

`I_(G)` A
`I_(g)` G
`I_(g)`E
`I_(g)` D

Answer :D
21360.

Question : Active absorption and passive absorption

Answer»

Solution :In ACTIVE absorption, an EXPENDITURE of METABOLIC energy is required for absorption, whereas in passive absorption, no metabolic energy is required. Furthermore, active absorption OCCURS as a result of activities in the root and does not concern the shoot. Whereas in passive mechanism the root functions as passive absorption surface and WATER moves through the root rather than of it.

Question : Account for the following briefly : Herbaceous plants growing in well watered soils are found to wilt on a hotday.

Answer»

Solution :Herbaceous plants growing in wellwatered SOILS are FOUND to wilt on a hot day. It is due to the fact that in such cases the rate of TRANSPIRATION during day-time EXCEEDS the rate of absorption of water by the roots. The cells therefore lose TURGIDITY. In the evening or during night, the stomata are constricted and the temperature is not high, therefore there is no loss of water through transpiration and the turgidity of the leaves is reacquiredand they stand out erect.
