Read the following statement (A - D). (A) The movement of air into and out of the lungs is carried out by creating a pressure gradient between the lungs and atmosphere. (B) Inspiration can occur if the pressure within the lungs is more than the atmospheric pressure. (C) Expiration takes place when the intrapulmonary pressure is lesser than the atmospheric pressure. (D) The diaphragm and a specialized set of intercostal muscles in between the ribs help in the generation of such pressure gradients for breathing. How many of the following statements are correct?

Which of the following is true/false regarding transport of substances in plants ? (i) Mass flow is the movement of substances in bulk as a result of pressure difference (ii) Bulk flow is achieved only through a positive hydrostatic pressure gradient (iii) The apoplast system is the system of interconnected protoplasts (iv) Most of the water flow in the roots occurs via the apoplast since the cortical cells are loosely packed, and offer no resistance to water movement.
