NEET Biology Transport In Plants Question Bank Self Evaluation Test - Transport in Plants

  • question_answer
    Water in the adjacent xylem moves into the phloem by the process of:

    A) Facilitated diffusion        

    B) Acute transport

    C) Simple diffusion

    D)        Osmosis

    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.
