Which of the following statements is inaccurate?

a. Water moves to areas of low water potential.

b. Xylem transports materials up the plant, and phloem transports materials down the plant.

c. Water movement in the xylem is due, in part, to the cohesive and adhesive properties of water.

d. Water movement across membranes is often due to differences in solute concentrations.

Which of the following statements is inaccurate?a. Water that evaporates from leaves is ultimately replaced by water diffusing from the xylem.b. Xylem transports water up the plant while phloem transports carbohydrates throughout the plant.c. Water movement in the xylem is largely due to the pressure-flow hypothesis.d. Water movement across membranes is often due to differences in solute concentrations.
Water movement through the xylem needs less pressure than movement through living cells. A. Agree, because water moves in xylem through diffusion. B. Disagree, because water needs turgor pressure in order to diffuse. D. Disagree, beacuse both need equal pressure for materials to pass through xylem and living cells like sievetubes. C. Agree, because water is non-living while photosynthates are living and must pass through living cells that require pressure.
Which statement(s) is/are false? * A. A water potential lower than that of the soil draws water into the roots and a water potential lower than that of the stem draws water into the leaf. B. A water potential lower than that of the soil draws water into the roots and a water potential higher than that of the stem draws water into the leaf. C. Water potential and solute concentration increases from the roots to the top of the plant. D. Water enters the plant through the root hairs and exits through the lenticels and stomates. E. A and D F. B and C
