The cell are connected by plasmodesmata, the system is
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is B Symplast
Symplast
pathway is the pathway formed by the system of interconnected protoplasts of
different cells. Neighbouring cells are connected through cytoplasmic strands
extend through plasmodesmata. During symplastic movement, the water travels
through the cells-their cytoplasm; intercellular movement is through
plasmodesmata. Water has to enter the cells through the cell membrane, hence
movement is relatively slower. Movement is down a potential gradient.
Symplastic movement may be aided by cytoplasmic streaming. It can be seen in
cells of Hydrilla leaf.
