In a woody-plant the·number of structures on ion sin cell has to cross to reach the adjunction cell is:
Correct answer: A. 3
- A. 3
- B. 5
- C. 6
- D. 7
Explanation
The ion crosses three main structures when moving from one cell to an adjacent cell in a woody plant:Middle Lamella: This is the pectin-rich layer which cements the cell walls of two adjoining plant cells together.Primary Cell Wall: This is the outermost layer of the cell wall, which is flexible and allows for cell growth.Secondary Cell Wall: This is a thicker and more rigid structure found beneath the primary cell wall, common in woody plants to provide strength and support.These structures are essential for providing support and protection, while also facilitating the movement of ions via channel proteins, as the cell membrane itself is non-polar and ions are polar. Options B, C, and D include additional or irrelevant structures that are not necessary for ion movement between adjacent cells.

About Plant Nutrition and Transport
Plants require macronutrients and micronutrients for growth, and mineral deficiencies produce recognizable symptoms. Transport involves water and minerals through xylem by transpiration pull, cohesion and adhesion, while phloem translocates sugars from sources to sinks. Root pressure and transpiration are distinct mechanisms.
