Question

A flowering plant is planted in an earthen pot and irrigated. Urea is added in high amounts to make the plant grow faster, but after some time the plant died. This may be due to __________.

• A. Exosmosis
• B. Endosmosis
• C. Water logging
• D. Suffocation

Answer 1

The correct option is A Exosmosis

when urea is added in high amounts to the flowering plant, planted in an earthen pot and irrigated, the concentration of soil solution increases, in the plant concentration of cell sap decreases. It results in the occurrence of exosmosis in plants.

So, the correct option is ‘exosmosis’.
