Mass flow or bulk flow system is the movement of substances in bulk or en masse from one point to another point as a result of

(1) Pressure Difference between two points

(2) Osmotic gradient between two points

(3) Concentration gradient between two points

(4) Cannot be predicted

Mass flow

(1) Solids move slowly

(2) Liquid move faster

(3) All move through the same pace

(4) Solids move faster due to high Osmotic pressure

Apoplast movement

Find the wrong one.

(1) Dependent on gradient

(2) Water movement is through mass flow

(3) The continuous stream of water gets tension when water is absorbed by root hairs

(4) Mass flow of water occurs due to adhesive and cohesive properties of water
