#Unit 6. System Physiology – Plant

companion cells in minor veins of mature leaves. All three cell types have dense cytoplasm and abundant mitochondria, there are three types companion cells  present in column A while its characteristics given in column B;

             COLUMN A                                                               COLUMN B

A) Ordinary companion cells             i) appear well suited for taking up solutes via cytoplasmic connections numerous plasmodesmata connecting them to bundle sheath cells. Its having numerous small vacuoles, as well as poorly developed thylakoids.

B) Transfer cells                                 ii) have chloroplasts with well-developed thylakoids     and a cell wall with a smooth inner surface. The number of plasmodesmata connecting ordinary companion cells to surrounding cells.

 C) Intermediary cells                          iii) the development of fingerlike wall in growths, particularly on the cell Walls. These wall ingrowths greatly increase the surface area of the transfer cell’s  plasma membrane, few plasmodesmata connect this type of companion cell to any of the surrounding cells except its own sieve element.

Which of the following correct combination;

#Question id: 10902

#Unit 6. System Physiology – Plant

P-proteins from the genus Cucurbita consist of two major proteins: PP1, the phloem filament protein, and PP2, the phloem lectin. Both PP1 and PP2 are thought to be synthesized in_______A___________and transported via the_______B_________to the_______C______, where they associate to form P-protein filaments and P-protein bodies.

Materials translocated in the phloem, such as sucrose, amino acids, hormones and some inorganic ions. Some inorganic solutes that move in the phloem called mobile elements. In contrast, some are relatively immobile in the phloem.

A) Immobile elements

B) Mobile elements

i) potassium, magnesium, phosphate, and chloride

ii) caesium, zinc, magnesium and iron

iii) nitrate, calcium, sulfur, and iron

iv) potassium, calcium, cobalt and caesium

Which of the following are the correct match of mobile and immobile elements in the phloem?

The sugar is a carbohydrate that are generally translocated  in the phloem in which form?

#Question id: 10905

#Unit 6. System Physiology – Plant

The rate of movement of materials in the sieve elements can be expressed in two ways: as velocity, or as mass transfer rate. In early publications reporting on rates of transport in the phloem, what is the velocity and the mass transfer rate?

i) velocity-centimeters per hour (cm h^-1) and mass transfer- grams per hour per square centimeter (g h^-1 cm^-2)

ii) velocity-the linear distance traveled per unit time and mass transfer rate-the quantity of material passing through a given cross section of phloem or sieve elements per unit time.

iii) velocity- the quantity of material passing through a given cross section of phloem or sieve elements per unit time and mass transfer rate- the linear distance traveled per unit time

iv) velocity- per hour per square centimeter (h^-1 cm^-2) and mass transfer- kg centimeters per hour (cm h^-1)
