What may be regarded as a valid difference between active and passive absorption of water?

1. Passive absorption is affected by the presence of metabolic inhibitors

2. active absorption is accelerated by the presence of auxins

3. Passive absorption is dependent on development of root pressure

4. Active absorption is dependent on aerial parts of plants for the development of a pull force.
