A) osmosis
B) imbibition
C) guttation
D) adhesion force
Correct Answer: D
Solution :
Diffusion of water from its pure state or dilute solution into a solution or stronger solution when the two are separated by a semi-permeable membrane is termed as osmosis. In plants, water supply is due to osmosis. The force between walls and water molecules is called adhesion force. The absorption of water by the solid particles of an adsorbant without forming a solution is called imbibition. The loss of water in the form of liquid droplets from the leaves and other parts of an uninjured or intact plant is called guttation.
