Differentiate between the following pairs on the basis of what is mentioned within brackets:

Turgor pressure and wall pressure (Explain)

A candidate in order to study the process of osmosis has taken 3 potato cubes and put them in 3 different beakers containing 3 different solutions. After 24 hours, in the first beaker the potato cube increased in size, in the second beaker the potato cube decresed in size and in the third beaker there was no change in the size of the potato cube. The following diagram shows the result of the same experiment:



i. Give the technical terms of the solution used in beaker 1 2 and 3
ii. In beaker 3 the size of the potato cube remains the same. Explain the reason in brief
iii. Write the specific feature of the cell sap of root hair a which helps in absorption of water. 
iv. What is osmosis?
v. How does a cell wall and a cell membrane differ in their permeability?
