If a well watered potted plants is kept very near to a table fan which is switched on to a high speed,the rate of transpiration will be,
increased
decreased
unaffected
steady
In plants,transpiration plays an important role in,
ascent of sap
trans location of mineral salts
regulation of temperature
all of above
During day,decreasing water potential and osmotic potential of guard cells leading up stomatal opening are facilitated by,
hydrolysis of starch into sugars in guard cells.
Synthesis of sugars and malate is guard cells
ATP-driven H+/K+ exchange pump mechanism leading to accumulation of K+ ion in guard cells.
The stomata close in water-stressed plants due to accumulation of ABA in,
Mesophyll cells
subsidiary cells
guard cells
None of the above
Which one of the following processes is sometimes called as necessary evil?
Transpiration
Guttation
Evaporation
All of above
The apparatus used for measuring rate of transpiration is called as,
Psychrometer
Potometer
Spectrometer
galvanometer
Loss of water from aerial parts of plants in the form of water vapour is called as,
guttation
evaporation
all of the above
The stomata open when guard cells become,
turgid
flaccid
Plasmolysed
transpired
