NEET Biology question
Not in NEET syllabus
Which of the following statements are true/false?
I. The positive hydrostatic pressure is called turgor pressure. II. Wall pressure is exerted to prevent the increase of protoplasm size. III. Diffusion is more rapid in liquids than in gases. IV. Diffusion of water through a semi-permeable membrane is called imbibition. V. Osmosis is the movement of a substance, which takes place along a diffusion gradient.
Solution
I is true (positive hydrostatic pressure in a cell is turgor pressure). II is true (wall pressure resists/opposes the expansion of the protoplast, so it is correctly described as true, which is accounted for in option (d)'s acceptance of V as true along with I and II). III is false (diffusion is faster in
