The diagram shows the structure of a fungal cell with different parts labelled as A,B,C and D. Which of the following statements are true with regard to the fungal cell structive? (i) A contains mucopolysaccharides which are also present in exoskeleton of insects and crustaceans. (ii) D are usually more than one in number in case of aseptate hyphae. (iii) Carotenes and xanthophylls are present in C, which harvest light energy for photosynthesis. (iv) B is the reverse food material, usually stored in the form of starch and oil.

Which of the following statements is/are incorrect? (i) Water and minerals, and food are generally moved by a mass or bulk flow system. (ii) Bulk flow can be achieved either through a positive hydrostatic pressure gradient or a negative hydrostatic pressure gradient. (iii) The bulk movement of substances through the conducting tissues of plants is called translocation. (iv) Xylem translocates organic and inorganic solutes, mainly from roots to the aerial parts of the plants. (v) Phloem translocates water, mineral salts, some organic nitrogen and hormones, from the leaves to other parts of the plants.
