Water is the best transporting medium in plants for dissolved minerals and food molecules. Choose the correct option considering the following properties of water:
$i$. Water is in liquid form at room temperature.
$ii$. Water is the best solvent for most of the solutes.
$iii$. In pure form,its $pH$ is neutral.
$iv$. It is the most active inorganic compound.

Which of the following statements are true for diffusion?
$I-$ It is a short-distance or passive transport.
$II -$ It can occur in any direction from the intercellular space of leaves to the external environment.
$III -$ Energy is expended.
$IV -$ Molecules move from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration.
$V -$ Diffusion is a slow process and is not dependent on a living system.
$VI -$ Diffusion is obvious in gases and liquids,but diffusion in solids is more likely rather than of solids.
