1. The positive hydrostatic pressure is called turgor pressure.
2. Wall pressure exerts to prevent the increase of protoplasm size.
3. Diffusion is more rapid in liquids than in gases.
4. Diffusion of water through a semi-permeable membrane is called imbibition.
5. Osmosis is movement of substance, which takes place along a diffusion gradient.
