Question

Differentiate between the following:
(a) Diffusion and Osmosis
(b) Transpiration and Evaporation
(c) Osmotic Pressure and Osmotic Potential
(d) Imbibition and Diffusion
(e) Apoplast and Symplast pathways of movement of water in plants.
(f) Guttation and Transpiration.

Answer 1

(a) Differences between diffusion and osmosis
Differences between osmotic pressure and osmotic potential
(c )Differnces between osmotic pressure and osmotic potential ltvbrgt (d) Differnce s between imbibition and diffusion
Imbibition is a speical kind of diffusion in which the water molecules are adsorbed to the surface of hydrophilic
(e ) symplast and apolast pathways of absorption of water in plants
(f) Diffences between guttation and transiration
