Transport In Plants

Question
CBSEENBI11003127

In plants, water supply is due to

  • osmosis

  • imbibition

  • guttation

  • adhesion force

Solution

D.

adhesion force

Adhesion force is the force between walls and water.

Osmosis is the diffusion of water from its pure or dilute solution into a stronger solution when the two are seperated by a semi- permeable membrane.

Imbibition is the absorption of water by the solid particles of an adsorbant without forming a solution.

Guttation is the loss of water in the form of liquid droplets from the leaves and other parts of an uninjured or intact plant.
