Identify the mismatch

Options

A. Apoplast `to` Cell walls + Intercellular spaces
B. Plasmolysed cell `to` Shrinkage of entire plant cell
C. Symplast `to` Cytoplasm + Plasmodesmata
D. Water potential `to` Highest for pure water

Answer

To identify the mismatch in the given options, we will analyze each option one by one.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Understanding Apoplast:**
- The first option states that "apoplast is equal to the cell wall plus intercellular spaces."
- This is correct. The apoplast pathway involves the movement of water through the cell walls and the spaces between cells, allowing for passive transport.

2. **Analyzing Plasmolyzed Cell:**
- The second option claims that "a plasmolyzed cell is the shrinking of the entire plant cell."
- This is incorrect. In plasmolysis, only the protoplasm (the living part of the cell) shrinks away from the cell wall due to loss of water, not the entire cell. Therefore, this statement is a mismatch.

3. **Understanding Symplast:**
- The third option describes "symplast as the cytoplasm and plasmodesmata."
- This is correct. The symplast pathway refers to the interconnected cytoplasm of plant cells through plasmodesmata, allowing for the transport of substances.

4. **Water Potential:**
- The fourth option states that "water potential is highest in pure water."
- This is also correct. Pure water has the highest water potential (0 MPa), and the presence of solutes lowers the water potential.

### Conclusion:
The mismatch identified is in the second option: "a plasmolyzed cell is shrinking of entire plant cell." This statement is incorrect because only the protoplasm shrinks, not the entire cell.

### Final Answer:
The mismatch is: **"A plasmolyzed cell is shrinking of entire plant cell."**
