The upward movement of water in a plant involves all the following processes except?

A. Translocation

B. Cohesion

C. Tension

D. Transpiration

The by-products of hydrolysis include ...

A. Protein and fats

B. Stamen and anthers

C. Carbon dioxide and water

D. Pollen and ovules

The answer is A. Translocation is the movement of food material such as carbohydrates up the plant to parts such as the leaves. This force is not associated with water movement since it is associated with the phloem tissues of the plant.

The answer is A. Hydrolysis process reduces substances such as carbohydrates to glucose or proteins to constituent amino acids. This requires that water is used up in breaking the bond. Hydrolysis can also happen in reverse where bigger molecules are formed from smaller molecules by expending water from the bond (condensation reaction).
