The following diagram represent the pathway of water movement in the root. Identify A, B, and C respectively

Options

A. Plasmodesmata, Casparian strip, Endodermis
B. Tight junction, Casparian strip, Endodermis
C. Gap junction, Casparian strip, Endodermis
D. Desmosome, Casparian strip, Endodermis

Answer

A

Explanation

In the symplast pathway, the water molecules move from cell to cell through a gap junction called plasmodesmata
The Casparian strip is a band of cell wall material made up of suberin and lignin which allow the passage of solute from one side of the endodermis to the other via the cell wall route.
