Movement of Water and Translocation

What is the first step in the uptake of water?

• Absorption of sunlight

• Upward movement of water in xylem from the roots to the leaves

• Uptake of water and mineral salts by the roots

• Movement of water to xylem of the root

How do water molecules primarily move into the root hair cells?

• By evaporation

• By active transport

• By osmosis

• By diffusion

What is the main route water takes from cell to cell in the symplast route?

• Through cell walls

• Through air spaces

• Through cytoplasm

• Through vacuoles

What force is primarily responsible for drawing water upwards in a plant?

• Root pressure

• Gravity

• Capillarity

• Transpiration pull

What is the nutrient-rich fluid transported by phloem tissue called?

• Xylem sap

• Root sap

• Plant sap

• Leaf sap

Which part of the plant is referred to as the 'sink' in translocation?

• Flowers

• Roots, fruits, and seeds

• Stems

• Leaves

What is the process of moving substances manufactured in the leaves to other parts of the plant called?

• Translocation

• Photosynthesis

• Transpiration

• Respiration

What type of pressure increases within the root hair as water is absorbed?

• Hydrostatic pressure

• Osmotic pressure

• Turgor pressure

• Atmospheric pressure

Which route allows water to move faster to the xylem?

• Apoplast route

• Symplast route

• Transpirational route

• Vacuolar route

What is the main component transported from the leaves during translocation?

• Starch

• Fructose

• Glucose

• Sucrose
