The pathway of absorption of water involving system of interconnected protoplasts is _______(a) apoplastic pathway(b) symplastic pathway(c) diffusion(d) pressure flow of hypothesisI have been asked this question by my college director while I was bunking the class.I'm obligated to ask this question of Long Distance Transport of Water in chapter Transport in Plants of Biology – Class 11

Answer»

Correct option is (b) symplastic pathway

The best I can explain: Symplastic pathway consists of cytoplasm and intercellular MOVEMENT through plasmodesmata. Apoplastic pathway consists of intercellular spaces and walls of the cells. DIFFUSION is simply the movement of water from higher CONCENTRATION gradient and lower concentration gradient. Pressure FLOW of hypothesis is the mechanism of pathway of translocation of sugars from SOURCE to sink.
