Assertion: Water transport across biological membranes is too specific and too rapid to be explained entirely by diffusion through the lipid layer.
Reason: Water molecules are so small that they move relatively freely across the lipid bilayer, even though the middle zone is hydrophobic.

2. Both assertion and reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
3. Assertion is true but reason is false.
4. Both assertion and reason are false.

Assertion: Short distance lateral transport from root hair to vascular cylinder via symplast route requires repeated crossings of plasma membranes as the solutes exit one cell and enter the next.
Reason: The symplast pathway consists of cell walls and extracellular spaces.

Assertion: Given equal cross sectional areas of xylem, a plant with larger-diameter vessels can move more water up its stems than a plant with narrower tracheids.
Reason: The volume of liquid moving in a column per second is inversely proportional to r4 where r is the radius of the column, at constant pressure.

Water vapor 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 one of the following options
1. Both processes cannot happen simultaneously
2. Both processes can happen together because the diffusion coefficient of water and CO2 is different
3. The above processes happen only during night time
4. One process occurs during day time and the other at night
