The pressure that must be applied to a solution to prevent the inward flow of water across a semi permeable membrane is called as:
1. Hydrostatic pressure
2. Water potential
3. Osmotic pressure
4. Osmotic potential
Consider the following statements with respect to the relationship between osmotic pressure and osmotic potential as explained in section 11.2.2 in NCERT
I. Water moves from regions of higher osmotic pressure to regions of lower pressure
II. Osmotic potential is equivalent to osmotic pressure in concept but opposite in sign
The correct statements are:
1. I only
2. II only
3. Both I and II
4. None
