In plant physiology, translocation refers to the long-distance movement of substances, while aquaporins facilitate the movement of water through membranes.
A. Aquaporins: Aquaporins are specialized channels in cell membranes that facilitate the transport of water.
🔹 Matches with: III (Water channel).
B. Incipient plasmolysis: This is the initial stage where the protoplast begins to shrink due to water loss.
🔹 Matches with: V (Shrinkage of protoplast).
C. Simple diffusion: The passive movement of molecules from a higher concentration to a lower concentration.
🔹 Matches with: I (Passive process).
D. Translocation: The movement of nutrients and water over long distances in plants, facilitated by vascular tissues.
🔹 Matches with: II (Transport over distance).
Thus, the correct matching is: A-III, B-V, C-I, D-II
