ASSERTION REASON QUESTIONS

Directions : These questions consist of two statements, each printed as Assertion and Reason. While answering these questions, you are
required to choose any one of the following five responses.
(a) If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.

(c) If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
(d) If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.
(e) If the Assertion is incorrect but the Reason is correct.

Question. Assertion : Waxy and cutin coating on plant parts reduce the transpiration.
Reason : These adaptation are found in xerophytes. 
Answer. A

Question. Assertion : Water and mineral uptake by root hairs from the soil occurs through apoplast until it reaches endodermis.
Reason : Casparian strips in endodermis are suberized. 
Answer. A

Question. 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 form lenticels. 
Answer. D

Directions : Each of these questions contains an Assertion followed by Reason. Read them carefully and answer the question on the basis of following options. You have to select the one that best describes the two statements.
(a) If both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
(b) If both Assertion and Reason are correct, but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
(c) If Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
(d) If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.

Question. Assertion : Upward movement of water is called ascent of sap.
Reason : Upward movement of water occurs through xylem and phloem. 
Answer. C

Question. Assertion : Long distance flow of photo assimilates in plants occurs through sieve tubes.
Reason : Mature sieve tubes have parietal cytoplasm and perforated sieve plates.
Answer. A

Question. Assertion : Light is very important factor in transpiration.
Reason : Light induces stomatal opening and darkness closing of stomata. Therefore, transpiration increases in light and decreases in dark.
Answer. A
