In which direction does water move?

How do short-distance transport and long-distance transport occur in plants?
$I -$ By diffusion
$II -$ By translocation (xylem and phloem)
$III -$ By active transport of cytoplasmic streaming
Select the correct combination for short-distance transport and long-distance transport respectively.

Assertion: When the ambient temperature is high and soil contains excess of water,the plants tend to lose water in the form of droplets from lenticels.
Reason: Root pressure regulates the rate of loss of water from lenticels.

Give differences between:
$(1)$ Diffusion and Osmosis
$(2)$ Transpiration and Evaporation

Examples of bulk flow by a positive hydrostatic pressure gradient and a negative hydrostatic pressure gradient are

Transpiration and root pressure cause water to rise in plants by
