Transmembrane pathway

Vedclass · Answer

(C) In the root,water moves through the apoplast pathway until it reaches the endodermis. Due to the presence of the Casparian strip (suberin) in the endodermal cell walls,water is blocked from moving further through the apoplast. Consequently,water is forced to enter the cell through the plasma membrane (symplast) to cross the endodermis. This specific movement of water across the cell membranes is known as the transmembrane pathway.
