Vedclass · Answer

(D) The apoplastic pathway consists of the non-living parts of the plant,such as cell walls and intercellular spaces. In this pathway,water moves through the cell walls and intercellular spaces without crossing any cell membranes. It is a continuous system that provides a low-resistance path for water movement. In contrast,the symplastic pathway involves the movement of water through the cytoplasm and plasmodesmata,which requires crossing cell membranes.
