8 questions from the practice bank, spread across the chapter's topics. The full set is in the app.
The carrier proteins which allow the movement of two molecules in the same direction are called:
Answer: D. symport
Why: The antiport moves the two molecules in the opposite directions.
Girdling experiments, in which a ring of bark is removed from a stem, show that the:
Answer: B. food moves through the phloem, as the sugar accumulates above the ring
Why: The bark contains the phloem.
The inner wall of the guard cell, toward the stomatal pore, is:
Answer: D. thick and elastic
Why: The orientation of the microfibrils helps the opening.
The pressure potential of a flaccid cell is:
Answer: D. zero
Why: The cell is not turgid.
Water channels are made up of eight different types of the:
Answer: A. aquaporins
Why: The channels help in the rapid movement of water.
The movement of the organic and the inorganic solutes in the plant, mainly the sugars, from the leaves to the other parts, is called:
Answer: D. translocation
Why: It occurs through the phloem.
The opening and closing of the stomata is determined by the:
Answer: D. turgidity of the guard cells
Why: The guard cells are kidney-shaped in the dicots.
A fully turgid plant cell has a water potential equal to:
Answer: B. zero, since pressure potential exactly balances the negative solute potential
Why: At full turgidity, the pressure potential (positive, from wall resistance) exactly offsets the solute potential (negative), giving an overall water potential of zero: the cell can absorb no more water.
