Water reaches xylem from root hairs by

Which of the following statements are correct regarding the factors affecting the absorption of water by plants?
$(i)$ In plants,the rate of water absorption is minimum at a soil temperature of $20^{\circ}C$ to $30^{\circ}C$.
(ii) The presence of capillary water is essential in the soil.
(iii) Poorly aerated soil shows a poor absorption rate.
(iv) $A$ low transpiration rate accelerates the rate of absorption of water in irrigated soil.
$(v)$ $A$ high concentration of solutes in soil water reduces the rate of absorption of water.

Water is lost as liquid from the plant body in:

Match List-$I$ with List-$II$.

List-$I$	List-$II$
$(a)$ Cohesion	$(i)$ More attraction in liquid phase
$(b)$ Adhesion	$(ii)$ Mutual attraction between water molecules
$(c)$ Surface tension	$(iii)$ Water loss in liquid phase
$(d)$ Guttation	$(iv)$ Attraction towards polar surfaces

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

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

$A$: There is an indirect relationship between the rate of respiration and water absorption.
$R$: Increased metabolism increases mineral uptake.
