The main difference between active and passive transport across cell membrane is :

1. passive transport is non-selective whereas active transport is selective
2. passive transport requires a concentration gradient across a biological membrane whereas active transport requires energy to move solutes.
3. passive transport is confined to anionic carrier proteins whereas active transport is confined to cationic channel.
4. active transport occurs more rapidly than passive

Two cells A and B  are contiguous. Cell A has osmotic pressure 10 atm, turgor pressure-7 atm, and diffusion pressure deficit 3 atm. Cell B has an osmotic pressure of 8 atm, turgor pressure of 3 atm, and diffusion pressure deficit of 5 atm. The result will be:

1. Movement of water from cell B to A

2. No movement of water

3. Equilibrium between the two

4. Movement of water from cell A to B

Water vapour comes out from the plant leaf through the stomatal opening. Through the same stomatal opening, carbon dioxide diffuses into the plant during photosynthesis. Reason out the above statements using the following options:
 
1. Both processes can happen together because the diffusion coefficient of water and CO2 is different
2. The above processes happen only during the night-time.
3. One process occurs happen only in the daytime and the other at night
4. Both processes cannot happen simultaneously
