I: After plasmolysis, the gap between the cell wall and the cell membrane in a plant cell is filled with hypertonic solution.
II: If a plant cell is placed in a hyotonic solution, the plant cell loses water and hence turgor pressure by plasmolysis.

Identify the correct statement:
1. Mutual attraction between water molecules called as adhesion, attraction of water molecules to polar surfaces called as cohesion and water molecules being attracted to each other in the liquid phase more than to water in the gas phase called as surface tension are the properties of water that give it a high capillarity which is an ability to resist a pulling force and high tensile strength which is the ability to rise in tubes.

The diagram shows an experiment where a solution of sucrose in water taken in a funnel is separated from pure water in a beaker by a selectively permeable membrane. External pressure can be applied from the upper part of the funnel such that no water diffuses into the funnel through the membrane.
   
I: This pressure required to prevent water from diffusing is in fact, the osmotic pressure and this is the function of the solute concentration; more the solute concentration, greater will be the pressure required to prevent water from diffusing in.
II: Numerically, osmotic pressure is equivalent to the osmotic potential, but the sign is opposite. Osmotic pressure is the positive pressure applied, while osmotic potential is negative.
