How would you differentiate between apoplast and symplast? |
|
|
a) |
Apoplast relies on active transport |
|
b) |
Symplast deals in non-living spaces and cell walls |
|
c) |
Apoplast prevents passive diffusion |
|
d) |
Apoplasts deals in non-living spaces and cell walls |

(d) Apoplast pathway consists of interconnecting cell wall, intercellular spaces, cell wall of endodermis excluding the casparian strips, xylem and tracheary elements. This system is considered non-living and is continuous throughout the plant. Symplast pathway consists of the living parts of the plant and is made up of interconnected protoplast adjacent cells |
