Here are 10 one-word answer type questions from the topic Transport of Water and Minerals with answers and explanations (explanation is given immediately after each question and answer as you requested):
1)
Question: Which part of the plant absorbs water and minerals from the soil?
Answer: Roots
Explanation: Roots have root hairs which help in the absorption of water and minerals dissolved in the soil .
2)
Question: Name the fine thread-like structures present on roots that absorb water.
Answer: Root hairs
Explanation: Root hairs increase the surface area of roots for better absorption of water and minerals .
3)
Question: Which vascular tissue is responsible for the transport of water and minerals in plants?
Answer: Xylem
Explanation: Xylem is a continuous network of channels made of special cells which transport water and minerals from roots to leaves .
4)
Question: What is the movement of water from roots to leaves called?
Answer: Conduction
Explanation: Water absorbed by roots is conducted upwards to stems and leaves through xylem vessels .
5)
Question: Through which part of the plant does most of the water evaporate?
Answer: Stomata
Explanation: Stomata are tiny pores on the leaves through which water evaporates during transpiration .
6)
Question: Which process helps to pull water upward in tall trees?
Answer: Transpiration
Explanation: The evaporation of water from stomata creates a suction pull which helps water to rise to great heights .
7)
Question: What is the name of the upward force created in plants due to transpiration?
Answer: Suction
Explanation: Transpiration produces a suction force that pulls water and minerals upwards in the plant .
8)
Question: What are the vessels in xylem made up of?
Answer: Cells
Explanation: Xylem vessels are made up of special cells that form pipe-like channels for the transport of water .
9)
Question: Which coloured liquid is used in experiments to observe transport of water in plants?
Answer: Ink
Explanation: Red ink or coloured water is used in stem experiments to observe the movement of water through xylem .
10)
Question: Which essential substances, along with water, are absorbed by roots?
Answer: Minerals
Explanation: Along with water, minerals dissolved in soil are absorbed by the root hairs to be transported to the plant .
