Question

Plasmodesmata connection helps in

• A. Cytoplasmic streaming
• B. Synchronous mitotic division
• C. Locomotion of unicellular organism
• D. Movement of substances between cells

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Movement of substances between cells

The correct option is D:

Explanation of the correct option:

1. Plasmodesmata are cytoplasmic connections that enable the transportation of substances between two cells.
2. Present in pit through which cytoplasm of one cell is in contact with another.
3. Forms living components in the dead wall.
4. The endoplasmic reticulum helps in the origin of plasmodesmata.
5. The function of plasmodesmata is that it helps in the movement of substances between cells.

Explanation of the incorrect option:

Option A:

Cytoplasmic streaming is the movement of cytoplasm inside a plant or animal cell.

Option B:

In synchronous cell division, both the cells divide simultaneously to give rise to daughter cells.

Option C:

Locomotion of unicellular organisms can be carried out with the help of cilia, flagella, or pseudopodia.

Final answer: The Plasmodesmata connection helps in the movement of substances between cells.
