  • Water loss from the leaves in the form of water vapour through the openings called stomata is called transpiration.
  • Imbibition is a phenomenon that refers to the absorption of one substance by another, usually uptake of water by a plant or a seed.
  • Guttation is excretion of xylem sap on the tips of some plants through pores called hydathodes.
  • Translocation is the movement of the material from the source to sink inside the plant. Example, movement of starch from leaves to roots or other plant parts.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Transpiration'.

Question 2
An experiment was conducted to determine the effect of concentration on the rate of diffusion. A student filled six dialysis bags with different concentrations of salt solutions and placed each of them in a separate beaker of distilled water.
Dialysis bags model the selective permeability of cell membranes and allow small molecules, ions and water to pass through according to the surrounding concentration gradient. A conductivity probe was used to measure the change in concentration of ions in the beaker over time.

Which curve on the graph below accurately predicts the rate of diffusion as a function of salinity?
