Biology Question on The Tissue System
In plants, water supply is due to
A
osmosis
B
imbibition
C
guttation
D
adhesion force
Answer
adhesion force
Explanation
Solution
The force between walls and water called adhesion force.
Diffusion of water from its pure or dilute solution into a 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 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.
