Question

At 0${}^{o}C$ soil temperature, the rate of water absorption

• A. Increases
• B. Not affected
• C. Decreases
• D. Appreciable

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Decreases

At 0°C temperature of soil, the water absorption is almost checked . At low temperature permeability of cell membranes decreases and viscosity of water increases so absorption of water becomes difficult . Hence option C is correct.
