Transport in Plants Quiz

Which tissue in plants is responsible for transporting water from roots to other parts?

• Phloem

• Xylem

• Parenchyma

• Collenchyma

The upward movement of water through the xylem is known as:

• Assimilation

• Translocation

• Transpiration

• Ascent of sap

The main force responsible for the ascent of sap in tall trees is:

• Root pressure

• Capillary action

• Transpiration pull

• Diffusion

Phloem is responsible for transporting:

• Minerals

• Water

• Sucrose

• Oxygen

Which cells in the root absorb water and minerals from the soil?

• Cortex cells

• Endodermis

• Root hair cells

• Xylem vessels

The loss of water in the form of vapour from plant leaves is called:

• Osmosis

• Evaporation

• Transpiration

• Respiration

Which part of the leaf mainly carries out transpiration?

• Midrib

• Veins

• Stomata

• Chloroplasts

What regulates the opening and closing of stomata?

• Vascular bundles

• Guard cells

• Mesophyll cells

• Epidermis

Which among the following helps in the absorption of water by roots?

• Active transport

• Root pressure

• Diffusion

• All of the above

Which process enables movement of water from cell to cell in plants?

• Photosynthesis

• Translocation

• Osmosis

• Respiration
