1. diffusion and, are passively taken up by the sink cells
2. active transport and, are passively taken up by the sink cells

In section 11.1.2, NCERT states that a concentration gradient needs to be present in spite of the fact that facilitated diffusion is facilitated by a carrier. Why is it so?
1. These protein carriers have ATPase activity.
2. These protein carriers can not move in the membrane.
3. These protein carriers can not establish concentration gradients.
4. These protein carriers can provide only symport with the use of external energy.

Refer section 11.1.1 of your NCERT. What peculiarity does NCERT mention regarding diffusion and solids ?
1. It does not occur in solids
2. It is more easily visualized in solids
3. It requires expenditure of external energy and occurs against concentration gradient
4. Diffusion in solids rather than of solids is more likely.

The process of guttation takes place
1. When the root pressure is high and the rate of transpiration is low
2. When the root pressure is low and the rate of transpiration is high
3. When the root pressure equals the rate of transpiration
