Please answer the question 129 with explanation
Solution:
Ans. Option b) is correct: Symplastic pathway.
The apoplast pathway involves the movement of water through the adjacent cell walls of the epidermis which does not provide resistance to movement of water, so it is faster.
The symplast pathway involves the movement of water through the interconnected protoplasts of the epidermis, cortex, endodermis, and root pericycle which provide more resistance to the movement of water, so it is slower.
