The diagram shows an experiment where a solution of sucrose in water taken in a funnel is separated from pure water in a beaker by a selectively permeable membrane. External pressure can be applied from the upper part of the funnel such that no water diffuses into the funnel through the membrane.
I: This pressure required to prevent water from diffusing is in fact, the osmotic pressure and this is the function of the solute concentration; more the solute concentration, greater will be the pressure required to prevent water from diffusing in.
II: Numerically, osmotic pressure is equivalent to the osmotic potential, but the sign is opposite. Osmotic pressure is the positive pressure applied, while osmotic potential is negative.
1. I is correct and II is also correct
2. I is correct but II is incorrect
3. I is incorrect and II is incorrect
4. I is incorrect and II is correct

The diagram shows a schematic presentation of the Münch flow hypothesis. Identify the correct statements:
I. Sugars are loaded into the sieve tubes of the phloem at the sugar source (leaf). The osmotic pressure of the sieve tubes is decreased; water is taken up from the surrounding tissue, which results in an increase in turgor pressure at the source.
II. Unloading of sugars from the sieve tubes at the sinks (stem and roots) increases the sieve tube osmotic pressure, water escapes to surrounding tissue, and turgor pressure is reduced.
III. The turgor pressure gradient between the source and the sink is the driving force for phloem transport.
IV. Phloem function is linked to xylem transport as water circulates between the two tissues. Phloem takes up water from the xylem along the whole transport pathway unless sugar unloading is locally very large. The transpiration stream in the leaves can also pass apoplastically along the cell walls without crossing the membrane of cells.
