Water and Minerals move down their concentration gradient through plasmodesmata to cells of cortex, endodermis, pericycle, and then to sap in the xylem cells. This is also known as the:
Correct answer: C. Symplast Pathway
- A. Vacuolar pathway
- B. Apoplastic pathway
- C. Symplast Pathway
- D. Mineral absorption Pathway
Explanation
The symplast pathway, involves movement of water from one cell to the other by plasmodesmata, hence water moves from cytoplasm of one cell to the cytoplasm of the other cell via the plasmodesmata, connecting them. This scenario is mentioned in the question, hence C is the correct answer.
