Match the following and choose the correct match
List – I | List – II | |
---|---|---|
Shrinkage of protoplast of plant cell when kept in hypertonic solution | i) | Imbibition |
Diffusion of water through plasma membrane | ii) | Plasmolysis |
Increase in the volume of solids due to adsorption of water | iii) | Facilitated diffusion |
Movement of substances through proteins of membrane down the concentration gradient | iv) | Osmosis |
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.
