Answer:

A. Water enters a plant by passing through the root cell membranes.

Explanation:

Osmosis is a kind of passive transport i.e. no energy input is required by the cell, that involves the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane from a region of low solute concentration/high solvent concentration to a region of high solute concentration/low solvent concentration. The movement is usually facilitated by a difference in concentration gradient between the cell's membrane and the extracellular solution.

In this question, water from the soil enters into the root's cell via its cell membrane, which acts as the semi-permeable membrane. This movement must have occured because the solute concentration in the root's cell is higher than that of the soil, forming an osmotic gradient.

1st option

10)

Nuclear Fission is not a good source of energy. This is by reason of only 0.7% of the uranium being captured. This is small even if one doesn't mention that only 40% of that 0.7% is converted into usable energy. There are also chances that the power plant could explode during conversion. All of this evidence points to the fact that Nuclear Fission and Nuclear Energy themselves should not be relied on.
