The movement of minerals or water via extracellular pathway is known as?
Correct answer: B. Apoplast
- A. Symplast
- B. Apoplast
- C. Vascular
- D. None of these
Explanation
Inside a plant, the apoplast is the space outside the plasma membrane within which material can diffuse freely. The apoplastic pathway is one of the two main pathways for water transport in plants, the other being the symplastic pathway. In apoplastic transport, water and minerals flow in an upward direction via the apoplast to the xylem in the root.
