Differentiate apoplast and symplast pathways of water movement. Which of these would need active transport ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Definition of Apoplast Pathway**: - The apoplast pathway refers to the movement of water through the cell walls and intercellular spaces of plant cells. This pathway does not involve the cytoplasm and is primarily through dead tissues, such as the cell walls. 2. **Definition of Symplast Pathway**: - The symplast pathway involves the movement of water through the cytoplasm of plant cells. Water travels from one cell to another through plasmodesmata, which are small channels that connect adjacent plant cells. This pathway utilizes living tissues. ...
