Vedclass · Answer

(A) The symplastic system consists of the entire network of cell protoplasts connected by plasmodesmata.This allows for the movement of water and solutes through the cytoplasm of adjacent cells.Therefore,statement $A$ is correct.The apoplastic system consists of the non-living parts of the plant,specifically the cell walls and intercellular spaces.This system is continuous throughout the plant,except at the Casparian strips in the endodermis of the roots,where the suberin deposition blocks the apoplastic pathway.Therefore,statement $R$ is also correct.Since both statements are correct,the correct option is $A$.

Column-$I$	Column-$II$
$(a)$ Passive transport	$(p)$ Movement from higher concentration to lower concentration, no energy required
$(b)$ Active transport	$(q)$ Movement along the concentration gradient, requiring carrier proteins
$(c)$ Facilitated diffusion	$(r)$ Movement against the concentration gradient, requiring energy
$(d)$ Osmosis	$(s)$ Diffusion of solvent molecules across a semi-permeable membrane

$A-$ The symplastic system is the system of interconnected protoplasts.
$R-$ The apoplast is the system of adjacent cell walls that is continuous throughout the plant root,except at the Casparian strips of the endodermis in the roots.
