If osmotic potential of a cell is -10 bars and its pressure potential is 5 bars, its water potential would be

0%
- 5 bars
0%
5 bars
0%
- 10 bars
0%
10 bars

Explanation

The formula for calculating water potential is

$\psi$ =

$\psi_s$ (osmotic potential) +

$\psi_s$ (pressure potential). In the given question osmotic potential is -10 bars and pressure potential is 5 bars. So the water potential can be calculated as

$\psi$ = -10 bars + 5 bars = -5 bars.

So, the correct answer is '-5 bars'.

Explanation

Cytochrome pump theory was proposed by Lundegardh in 1954. This theory states, that there is a direct correlation between the anion absorption and respiration.

Cytoplasmic or protoplasmic streaming theory was given by De Vries in 1885. According to this theory in a sieve tube element, organic solutes pass to all parts by cytoplasmic streaming, while they pass from one sieve element to another through diffusion.
The chemiosmotic mechanism for ATP synthesis was given by Mitchell. According to this theory, the ATP is synthesized by

$F_0$ -

$F_1$ ATPase enzymes when protons flow along the electrochemical gradient.
Apoplast and symplast were explained by Munch in 1931. Nonliving continuum of the plant body, which consists of cell walls, intercellular spaces, and water filled xylem channels is called as apoplast. The living continuum of the plant formed of protoplasts connected by plasmodesmata constitutes the symplast.

0%
7.33 atm
0%
6.72 atm
0%
2.24 atm
0%
5.60 atm

Explanation

$\textbf{Correct Option B}$

$\textbf{Solution}$

$\bullet$ The given values are,

$\bullet$ The molar concentration of the sugar solution = 0.3 M.

$\bullet$ We know that the universal gas constant, R= 0.82 lit atm per degree kelvin per mole.
Temperature= 298 Kelvin
Volume = 1 litre.

$\bullet$ Using the universal equation,
pV= nRT

$\bullet$ Putting all the values we get
p× 1= 0.3×0.82 ×298
p= 7.33 atm

$\bullet$ So, the correct option is B.

Transpiration is a non-enzymatic process. Its

$Q_{10}$ value is

0%
1
0%
2
0%
3.5
0%
0

Explanation

Transpiration is a physical process which occurs under the influence of transpiration pull. It leads to the ascent of sap in nonliving xylem cells.

$Q_{10}$ is the ratio of the rate of the same process at two different temperatures ten degrees apart. For a purely physical process, the value of

$Q_{10}$ is two. For most biological systems, the

$Q_{10}$ value is ~ 2 to 3. Thus, the rate of transpiration doubles with every ten-degree rise in temperature.

So, the correct answer is '2'
