Mary soaked some raisins in beakers containing sugar solution, distilled water, salt solution and sea water respectively. After a couple of days, she observed that raisins have changed their shapes. In which of the following solutions will the raisins become turgid ?

1. Sugar solution
2. Distilled water
3. Salt solution
4. Sea water

Figures A and B show plant cells after being kept for some time in two different solutions. Solutions A and B are:

1. A-Hypotonic and B-Hypertonic
2. A-Hypertonic and B-Hypotonic
3. A-Isotonic and B-Hypertonic
4. A-Hypotonic and B-Isotonic

Assertion (A): Roots absorb water and mineral nutrients from the soil.

Reason (R): Soil is the storehouse of all the essential minerals for photosynthesis that are absorbed by the plant through the roots of the plant by the process of diffusion.

1. Both A and R are True
2. Both A and R are False
3. A is True and R is False.
4. A is False and R is True.

Assertion (A): Diffusion is the process of free movement of liquid molecules only. It does not occur in gaseous state.

Reason (R): The main condition which regulates the process of diffusion is the concentration gradient and not the state of matter. It always occurs from higher to lower concentration.

1. Both A and R are True
2. Both A and R are False
3. A is True and R is False.
4. A is False and R is True.
