Exam points

  • Relate osmolarity to water movement into root cells.
  • Evaluate how irrigation and soil salinity change water uptake by plants.

D2.3.2—Water movement question 1

[Maximum number: 1]

Excessive irrigation can cause increased salinity in the soil. What effect does this have on water transport in the plant roots?

A

Decreases movement of water from soil into the root

B

Absorption of water with a higher solute concentration

C

Increases movement of water from soil into the root

D

Absorption of water with a lower solute concentration
