Question

Match the following lists

Answer 1

A) Plasmolysis is the shrinkage or contraction of the protoplasm of a plant cell as a result of the loss of water from the cell. It is when plant cells lose water after being placed in a solution that has a higher concentration of solutes than the cell does.

B) Translocation is the movement of materials (organic molecules and some mineral ions) from leaves to other tissues throughout the plant by the vascular tissues.

C) Symplastic pathway provides the movement of water from one cell to another cell through cytoplasmic bridges called plasmodesmata. Symplast is a cytoplasmic network formed by the interconnection of the cytoplasm of adjacent cells.

D) Apoplastic pathway provides the movement of water through the cell wall and other intercellular spaces. Apoplast is the space outside the plasma membrane within which material can diffuse freely.

Hence, the correct match is A- 4, B- 2, C- 3, D- 1.
