Identify the incorrect statement:
1. Pinus seeds cannot germinate and establish without the presence of mycorrhizae
2. Imbibition is a special type of diffusion
3. Bulk transport can be achieved only through a positive hydrostatic pressure

What is not true regarding diffusion in context of biology?
1. Molecules move in a random fashion with a net result that substance move from regions of higher concentration to regions of lower concentration.
2. No ATP energy expenditure takes place.
3. It is a very rapid process dependent on a living system.
4. It is the only means for gaseous transport in plant cells.
