After heavy rainfall with poor drainage,leaves of many plants wilt due to

Correct the following statements:
$(a)$ Cells shrink in hypotonic solutions and swell in hypertonic solutions.
$(b)$ Imbibition is a special type of diffusion when water is absorbed by solids—colloids—causing them to increase in volume.
$(c)$ Most of the water flow in the roots occurs via the symplast.

The transport of gases,hormones,photosynthates,and organic solutes in plants is:

Differentiate between diffusion and translocation in plants.

Differentiate between apoplast and symplast pathways of water movement. Which of these would need active transport?

$A.$ Most researchers agree that water is mainly 'pulled' upward through the plant, where transpiration is the driving force.
$B.$ Less than one percent of water reaching the leaves is used in plant growth and photosynthesis.
$C.$ Cobalt chloride paper turns blue on absorbing water.
