29Plant Structure TransportHard1 mark
What is correct about the uptake and transport of water in plants?
1 Water transported by the symplast pathway enters root hair cells down a water
potential gradient.
2 Water is transported in xylem by the symplast and apoplast pathways to reach
the leaves.
3 Water transported by the apoplast pathway through plasmodesmata must pass
through cell surface membranes of endodermal cells.
