Transport In Plants Question 21
Question: Water in the adjacent xylem moves into the phloem by the process of:
Options:
A) Facilitated diffusion
B) Acute transport
C) Simple diffusion
D) Osmosis
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
[d] Water in adjacent xylem moves into the phloem by the process of osmosis (diffusion of a solvent through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated to a more concentrated solution until both the solutions are of the same concentration).
As osmotic pressure builds the phloem sap, will move to areas of lower pressure.
