General Botany Quiz: Transport in Plants

Transport of photosynthetic products from leaves to other parts of the plant via the phloem.

• Transpiration

• Translocation

Transpirational pull is facilated by the cohesion-adhesion mechanism of water molecules. If water molecules sticks to other materials it is called:

• Cohesion

• Adhesion

Guard cells control the opening and closing of the stoma, if the guard cell is turgid what happens to the stoma?

• It opens

• It closes

It is the space outside the plasma membrane within which material can disperse freely.

• Apoplast

• Symplast

It is involved in transporting prepared food from the leaves to other parts of the plants.

• Xylem

• Phloem

It is also known as "cell-drinking".

• Phagocytosis

• Pinocytosis

It is the movement of large molecules out of the cell via the fusion of vesicles and the cell membrane.

• Endocytosis

• Exocytosis

What is the ideal solution for plant cells?

• Hypotonic solution

• Isotonic solution

The semi-permeable plasma membrane is made up of phospholipid bilayers which has heads and tails, the head part of the bilayer is:

• Hydrophilic

• Hydrophobic

The transport of molecules across a membrane that does not require energy.

• Active transport

• Passive transport
