Botany · Transport in plant
NEET (UG) 2023 — Question 168
Match List I with List II :
| List I | List II |
|---|---|
| A. Cohesion | I. More attraction in liquid phase |
| B. Adhesion | II. Mutual attraction among water molecules |
| C. Surface tension | III. Water loss in liquid phase |
| D. Guttation | IV. Attraction towards polar surfaces |
- Option A:
A – IV, B – III, C – II, D – I
- Option B:
A – III, B – I, C – IV, D – II
- Option C:
A – II, B – I, C – IV, D – III
- Option D:Correct
A – II, B – IV, C – I, D – III
Answer: D
Step-by-step solution
Cohesion represents mutual attraction between water molecules. Adhesion represents attraction
of water molecules to polar surfaces Surface tension represents water molecules are attracted to
each other in the liquid phase more than to water in the gas phase. Guttation represent loss of
water in liquid phase. Thus, option (4) is correct.
