Q.
In the given flow chart, the pathway of water movement is shown from soil to xylem. Identify A-E and choose the correct option accordingly
A) A-Stomatal pore, B-Endodermis, C-Casperian strip, D-Symplast, E-Apoplast
B) A-Plasmodesmata, B-Palisade, C-Medullary rays, D-Symplast, E-Apoplast
C) A-Plasmodesmata, B-Endodermis, C-Casperian strip, D-Apoplast, E-Symplast
D) A-Stomatal pore, B-Guard cell, C-Medullary rays, D-Apoplast, E-Symplast
Explanation
During the transport of water from the soil to xylem, water moves through mainly two channels, i.e., symplast and apoplast. Symplast when water moves between adjacent cell through cytoplasmic connection and when water moves through cell wall, it is called apoplatic movement
