Question

Which of the following statement(s) is/are true/false?

A. The positive hydrostatic pressure is called pressure.
B. Wall pressure exerts to prevent the increase of protoplasm size.
C. Diffusion is more rapid in liquids than in gases.
D. Diffusion of water through a semi-permeable membrane is called imbibition.
E. Osmosis is movement of substances, which takes place along a diffusion gradient.

• A. A and B are true and C, D and E are false
• B. A and C are true and B, D and E are false
• C. A and D are true and B, C and E are false
• D. A and E are true & B, C and D are false
• E. C, D and E are true and A and B are false

Answer 1

The correct option is A A and B are true and C, D and E are false

The cell exerts wall pressure to balance the turgor pressure so that the protoplasm size does not increase.

Diffusion is more rapid in gases when compared to liquids.

Imbibition is a type of diffusion where water is absorbed resulting in an increase in volume. For example absorption of water by a seed.

Osmosis is a movement of water from a higher concentration to a lower concentration region.

These show that the correct answer is option A
