List – I List – II
Shrinkage of protoplast of plant cell when kept in hypertonic solutioni)Imbibition
Diffusion of water through plasma membraneii)Plasmolysis
Increase in the volume of solids due to adsorption of wateriii)Facilitated diffusion
Movement of substances through proteins of membrane down the concentration gradient iv)Osmosis

Easy
Solution

Increase in the volume of solids due to adsorption of water is called Imbibition. Diffusion of water through plasma membrane is called Osmosis. Shrinkage of protoplast of a cell when kept in hypertonic solution due to exosmosis is called Plasmolysis. Movement of substances through proteins of membrane down the concentration gradient without the expenditure of energy is called Facilitated diffusion.
