HARD
"Transpiration is a necessary evil". Discuss.
HARD
Water vapour comes out from the plant leaf through the stomatal opening. Through the same stomatal opening, carbon dioxide diffuses into the plant during photosynthesis. Reason out the above statements using one of the following options:
MEDIUM
Explain Transpiration pull theory.
EASY
Entry of water into root hairs is an example of –
MEDIUM

Study the diagram and the list given below.

i) Chloroplast

ii) Epidermal cell

iii) Guard cell

iv) Subsidiary cell

v) Stomatal pore

The correct match is

MEDIUM
Plants absorb water through its roots, stems and leaves. But, mainly water is absorbed by root hairs. These hair roots absorb water, when: 
HARD
"Transpiration is a necessary evil". Explain.
MEDIUM
Root pressure is effective way transporting water in xylem. This pressure is generated
EASY

Given below is a diagram of the stomatal apparatus. Match the labels with the corresponding names of the compounds. 

Question Image

Choose the correct combination.

MEDIUM
Take two plants, keep plant A in very dry conditions and plant B in high humidity. Simultaneously, immerse the roots of both plants in water with a red dye. What would you observe?
EASY
The xylem in plants are responsible for
MEDIUM
Three uniformly watered plants i, ii and iii were kept in 45% relative humidity, 45% relative humidity with blowing wind and 95% relative humidity, respectively. Arrange these plants in the order (faster to slowest) in which they will dry up.
MEDIUM
Absorption of water is associated with
MEDIUM

Given below are two statements:

Statement I: The forces generated by transpiration can create pressures sufficient to lift a xylem sized column of water over 130 metres high.
Statement II: Transpiration cools leaf surfaces, sometimes 10 to 15 degrees, by evaporative cooling.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

MEDIUM
Which of the following is not the purpose of transpiration?
EASY
The Xylem are responsible for –
EASY

Choose the most appropriate statement from the options listed below that explains the factors which affects transpiration:

(A) If the wind blows faster, the water vapour released during transpiration is faster.

(B) Increase in atmospheric pressure increases the rate of transpiration.

(C) Decrease in temperature allows more water to evaporate.

(D) High humidity in the air increases the rate of transpiration.
