Following statements are regarding to cotransport.

A. The two forces constituting the electrochemical gradient—the membrane electric potential and the ion concentration gradient—may act in the same or opposite directions.

B. Cotransporters use the energy released by movement of an ion (usually H+ or Na+) down its electrochemical gradient to power the import or export of a small molecule or different ion against its concentration gradient.

C. Cotransporters use the energy released by movement of an ion (usually H+ or Na+) down its electrochemical gradient to power the import or export of a small molecule or different ion down its concentration gradient.

D. The cells lining the small intestine and kidney tubules contain symporters that couple the energetically favorable entry of Na+ to the import of glucose against its concentration gradient.

In very dry soils, the water potential (Yw) may fall below what is called the permanent wilting point, the water potential of the soil is so low that plants cannot regain turgor pressure even if all water loss through transpiration ceases. This means that

a) The hydraulic conductivity decreases drastically 

b) The water potential of the soil (Yw) is less than or equal to the osmotic potential (Ys ) of the plant

c) The water potential of the soil (Yw) is more than the osmotic potential (Ys) of the plant

d) cell osmotic potential (Ys) varies with plant species, the permanent wilting point is clearly not a unique property of the soil, it depends on the plant species
