The process responsible for facililating loss of water in liquid form from the tip of grass blades at night and early morning is:
Option: 1 Transpiration
Option: 2 Root pressure
Option: 3 Inhibition
Option: 4 Plasmolysis
Effects of root pressure is observable at night and early morning when evaporation is low, and excess water collects in the form of droplets around special openings of veins near the tip of grass blades, and leaves of many herbaceous parts. Such water loss in its liquid phase is known as guttation.

View Full Answer(1)In which plant will you look for mycorrhiza and coralloid roots? Also, explain what these terms mean.
Mycorrhiza, which is also known as ‘fungus-root’, is basically a mutually beneficial relationship between that of plant root and a fungus. In most cases, the fungus grows within the roots of the plants and helps the plant to absorb water and nutrients, and in return, the plant provides the fungus with food. E.g., Pinus. In some cases, the fungus could be harmful to the plants.
Coralloid Roots: These roots are associated with nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria. In coralloid roots, the nodules are formed in large numbers, in the roots giving them coralloid appearance. E.g. Cycas and plants of Leguminosae.
