This diagram may be of : (a) Collenchyma (b) —Sclerenchyma (c) Phloem (4) Parenchyma Puring exosmosis movement of solute and solvent take place cis : (a) solute don’t move and solvent move from cell to medium. (b) solute move inside the cell and solvent move outside the cell. (c) _ solute move outside the cell and solvent move inside the cell. (4) Solute move outside the cell and solvent don't move at all. We are adding and adding comon salt in distilled water and it passes through for different stages the correct sequence, we find, may be in only one option. 12The stages are hypertonic, hypotonic, isotonic and saturated solution. The correct option of solution is : (a) _ hypotonic < isotonic < hypertonic < saturated (b) hypotonic < hypertonic < isotonic < saturated (c) _ saturated < hypertonic < isotonic < hypotonic (d) hypertonic < saturated < isotonic < hypotonic Given diagrma is of Agaricus a Hush room.
