Following statements are related with the diffusion of coloured molecules across a membrane. Select the correct statement, which shows the fastest rate of diffusion?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
Both (2) and (3) shows fastest rate of diffusion
Option D (Both (2) and (3) shows fastest rate of diffusion) is correct because the rate of diffusion is directly proportional to the concentration gradient. Both options (2) and (3) have the same concentration gradient (25%).

View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
If bark of tree is girdled from main stem, the plant dies because ascent of sap is stopped
Option A (If bark of tree is girdled from main stem, the plant dies because ascent of sap is stopped) is the false statement. Girdling primarily affects the phloem, which transports sugars downwards, not the xylem, which is responsible for the ascent of sap.

RBC and a plant cell (with thick cell wall) are placed in distilled water. The solute concentration is the same in both the cells. What changes would be observed in them?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
The RBC would increase in size and burst, while the plant cell would remain about the same size
Option B (The RBC would increase in size and burst, while the plant cell would remain about the same size) is correct because the RBC lacks a cell wall and will burst due to osmosis, while the plant cell's cell wall provides structural support.
