The presence of dew on the surface of leaves is due to

Water reaches xylem from root hairs by

In a girdled plant,when water is supplied to the leaves above the girdle,leaves may remain green for some time,then wilt and ultimately die. What does it indicate?

Assertion: When the ambient temperature is high and soil contains excess of water,the plants tend to lose water in the form of droplets from lenticels.
Reason: Root pressure regulates the rate of loss of water from lenticels.

Water is lost as liquid from the plant body in:

Choose true and false statements from the following and select the correct option from the set $(A-D)$ given below:
$I.$ Diffusion is an important process of transport in plants since it is the only means for gaseous movement within the plant body.
$II.$ In active transport,pumps are proteins that use energy to carry substances across the cell membrane against the concentration gradient.
$III.$ In facilitated diffusion,special proteins help hydrophilic substances to be transported across the membrane.
$IV.$ In diffusion,molecules move against the concentration gradient in a random manner.
$V.$ Facilitated diffusion is faster than active transport.
