Question 1:

The correct answer is D. Phloem.

Reasoning: In a dicot stem, the vascular bundles are arranged in a ring. The phloem is always located on the outer side of the bundle (closer to the epidermis), while the xylem is located on the inner side.

Question 2:

The correct answer is A. Sucrose.

Reasoning: Phloem is responsible for translocation, which is the transport of soluble organic compounds—primarily sucrose and amino acids—from the leaves (source) to other parts of the plant (sink).

ote: Water and minerals are transported by the xylem, not the phloem.

Question 3:

The dye rising up the celery stalk is due to water movement through the xylem vessels. This movement is driven by transpiration — the loss of water vapor from the leaves, which pulls water (and dissolved dye) upward from the roots through the stem.

• A. Respiration – Release of energy from glucose; not involved in dye movement.

• B. Transpiration – ✅ Correct; transpiration pull moves water and dissolved minerals (or dye) up the plant.

• C. Translocation – Movement of sugars (food) through phloem, not water and dye.

• D. Transcription – Process of making RNA from DNA; unrelated.

Answer: B. transpiration

Question 4:

Based on the experiment, the correct answer is:

B. transports the red solution

Why this is the answer:

Observation: The red dye from the water is visible only in the tissue bundles (vascular bundles) labeled X.

Inference: This confirms that these specific tissues are responsible for the upward transport of water (and anything dissolved in it) throughout the plant.

Biological Context: In a real-world biological sense, these bundles contain xylem, which transports water and minerals. However, based strictly on the provided experimental evidence, the red color proves it transports that specific solution.

Question 5:

The dye rises up the stalk more quickly when the rate of transpiration is higher.
Transpiration increases with:

• Higher temperature – Increases evaporation of water from leaves.

• Windy conditions – Removes water vapor near leaf surface, increasing the gradient.

• Low humidity – Dry air increases evaporation.

Now check the options:

• A. Hot and humid – Hot increases transpiration, but high humidity decreases it (slower evaporation).

• B. Cold and windy – Wind increases, but cold decreases transpiration (slower evaporation).

• C. Hot and windy – ✅ Both increase transpiration rate → dye rises faster.

• D. Humid and windy – Wind increases, but high humidity decreases transpiration → overall slower.

Answer: C. Hot and windy

Question 6:

Water enters root hairs by osmosis.

• Diffusion – Movement of molecules from high to low concentration, but water moves across a selectively permeable membrane by osmosis specifically.

• Suction – Refers to transpiration pull, not the entry method into root hairs.

• Evaporation – Loss of water from leaves, not entry into roots.

• Osmosis – ✅ Correct; water moves from the soil (higher water concentration) into root hair cells (lower water concentration) across the cell membrane.

Answer: osmosis

Question 7+8:

The water vapour diffuses out of the leaf, through small pores called stomata.

Explanation:

• Water evaporates from mesophyll cell walls, then diffuses (moves down concentration gradient) through air spaces and out of the leaf via stomata (not through mouths, mesophyll, or openings as general terms).

• Osmosis refers to water movement across membranes, not out through stomata.

✅ Final sentence:
The water vapour diffuses out of the leaf, through small pores called stomata.

Question 9:

The correct answer is A. flaccid.

Explanation:
In a hot kitchen, the plant loses water faster through transpiration than it can absorb from the soil (especially if the soil is dry or the pot is small).
The leaf cells lose water by osmosis, the vacuole shrinks, and the cell contents pull away from the cell wall. The cells become flaccid (not firm), making the leaves limp and wilted.

• A. Flaccid – ✅ Correct: cells become limp due to water loss.

• B. Turgid – Opposite: cells swollen with water (healthy plant).

• C. Softer – Describes the tissue but not the precise biological term for cell state; flaccid is the correct term.

• D. Darker – Not related to water loss; wilting does not necessarily change leaf color immediately.

✅ Answer: A. flaccid

Question 10:

Let's work through the calculation.

From the graph :
In hot and windy conditions, the line reaches 40 mm of water loss in 120 seconds.

Rate = Water loss ÷ Time

✅ Answer: A. 0.33 mm/s
