Which of the following is not observed during apoplastic pathway?
Movement of water occurs through intercellular spaces and wall of the cells
The movement does not involve crossing of cell membrane
The movement is aided by cytoplasmic streaming
Apoplast is continuous and does not provide any barrier to water movement
The symplastic system is a system of interconnected protoplasts. Neighbouring cells are connected through cytoplasmic strands that extend through plasmodesmata. The water travels through cell cytoplasm and plasmodesmata, hence the movement is relatively slower. Symplastic movement is aided by cytoplasmic streaming.
