Question

please explain in detail Apoplast pathway and symplast pathway?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Apoplast pathways:- in this process water passes from root hair cell to xylem through the walls of intervenning cells without crossing any membarane or cytoplasm. Beyond cortex, this movement is blocked due to presence of casparian strips in root endodermal cells.

symplast pathways:- here water from cell to cell by crossing plasma membranes. this pathway is

also called as transmembrane pathways. non vacuolar and vascuolar are the two way for movement of water in this pathway.

Apoplastic pathway is faster than symplastic pathways.

Answer 2

Answer:

Apoplast and symplast are two routes used by plants to transport water from root hair cells to the xylem of the root. ... The water moves by the apoplastic pathway by passive diffusion. In contrast, in the symplastic pathway, water moves by the osmosis since water moves across the cell membranes.
