Question

Describe the symplast pathway of water movement.

Accepted Answer

Symplast pathway:Water moves thru continuous cytoplasm of living plant cells connected thru plasmodesmata (symplast)Root hair cell has higher water potential than next cell bc water diffused into it making it more diluteWater moves from root hair cell to adjacent cell by osmosis, continues cell to cell until xylem reached
