Diffuse porous woods are characteristic of plants growing in ________________.

  1. Alpine region

  2. Cold winter regions

  3. Temperate climate

  4. Tropical
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

In most of the gymnosperms such as conifers and cycads. Vessels are not present and the wood is made entirely of tracheids. These woods are known as nonporous. In angiosperms, the wood consists of both tracheids and vessels. The wide vessels are appearing with pores between. Such wood is called porous. 

In these porous woods, if vessels have essentially equal diameters the wood is known as diffuse-porous. It is the characteristic of plants growing in tropical regions.

So, the correct option is D.

  3. Grasses

  4. Mosses
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer

Multiple choice botany transpiration guttation excretion in plants long distance transport of water

Guttation occurs only in

  1. Hydrophytes

  2. Mesophytes

  3. Mangroves

  4. Marshy plants
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Guttation is the process in which plant pores secrete droplets of water.

Guttation occurs in moist conditions.
This commonly occurs in mesophytes at night when transpiration
Is not taking place due to closed stomata.
The extra water content is hence removed by this process and it can be seen on the surface of leaves as water oozes out of the hydathodes 
So the correct answer is 'Mesophytes'.
