Apoplast pathway

Vedclass · Answer

(A) $\Rightarrow$ Most of the water is transported within the root through the apoplast pathway.$\Rightarrow$ The cortical cells are loosely arranged,which provides little resistance to the movement of water,allowing for mass flow.$\Rightarrow$ This mass flow is facilitated by the cohesive and adhesive forces of water molecules.$\Rightarrow$ While the apoplast pathway is the primary route,the symplast pathway also contributes to water transport,particularly across the endodermis where the Casparian strip is present.
