Question : Absorption of water from soil by seeds increases the "_______" thus helping seedings to come out of soil.

Answer»

DPD
diffusion PRESSURE
imbibition pressure
solute potential

Solution : Imbibition is the initial step in the germination of the seeds. When mature seeds are sown in SOIL they imbibe water and swell. The water is imbibed first by seed coat and then by other tissues of embryo and endosperm. The process of imbibition is IMPORTANT ot initiate the seed germination. the pressure that an imbibant develops when submerged in pure IMBIBING liquid is called imbibition pressure.

Question : Absorption and adsorption

Answer»

Solution :Absorption is a process in which an ion or molecule gets into a cell or BODY through a membrane. Whereas adsorption is a process is which ACCUMULATION of molecules occurs at the contact surface. It never gets into a cell or body through membrane. Absorption is not surface phenomenon and INTERMOLECULAR forces do not occur, whereas in adsorption the molecules in contact are held by intermolecular forces. Absorption helps in uptake of minerals and WATER in plants, whereas adsorption helps in imbibition of water and enzyme activity. Absorption is sometimes an endothermic process whereas adsorption is an exothermic process
