Which of the following is not observed during an apoplastic pathway?
- AMovement of water occurs through intercellular spaces and wall of the cells
- BThe movement does not involve crossing of cell membrane
- CThe movement is aided by cytoplasmic streaming
- DApoplast is continuous and does not provide any barrier to water movement
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
The apoplastic pathway involves the movement of water and minerals through the non-living parts of the plant, such as the cell walls and intercellular spaces.It does not involve crossing the cell membrane.Incorrect statement: Cytoplasmic streaming is a phenomenon of the living cytoplasm and aids movement in the symplastic pathway, not the apoplastic one.It is continuous except at the Casparian strips of the endodermis.
