In __________ pathway, water crosses at least two membranes for each cell in its path (i.e., plasma membrane on entering and exiting).

0%
Apoplast
0%
Symplast
0%
Transmembrane
0%
Both (a) and (c)

Explanation

$\textbf{Correct answer: A}$

$\textbf{Option (A):}$

$\bullet$ In the apoplast pathway, the water does not enter the cytoplasm directly. Water passes through the cell wall and intercellular spaces.

$\bullet$ The movement of water takes place from one cell to another by crossing the plasma membrane.

$\bullet$ Only when the water is not able to move through the cell wall due to the presence of a Casparian strip, water move inside the cytoplasm.

$\bullet$ Therefore water passes through at least two membranes in the apoplast pathway.

$\textbf{Option (B):}$

$\bullet$ In the symplast pathway, the water passes through the cytoplasm.

$\bullet$ There are minute pores in the cell wall called plasmodesmata which connect the cytoplasm of adjoining cells. Water passes through the plasmodesmata without having any barrier stopping its flow.

$\textbf{Option (C):}$

$\bullet$ Water does not move to the transmembrane protein because the water molecule has the ability to pass through the cell membrane.

Hence, the correct answer is option (A).

The value of water potential

${ \Psi }_{ w }$ for a solution at atmospheric pressure is :-

0%
${ \Psi }_{ w }={ \Psi }_{ s }$
0%
${ \Psi }_{ w }=zero$
0%
${ \Psi }_{ w }=-{ \Psi }_{ s }$
0%
${ \Psi }_{ w }={ \Psi }_{ s }+{ \Psi }_{ p }$

Explanation

The value of water potential

${ \Psi }_{ w }$ for a solution at atmospheric pressure is equal to the solute potential i.e.,

${ \Psi }_{ w }={ \Psi }_{ s }$ . This happens because, at atmospheric pressure, there is no hydrostatic pressure on water in the cell. As a result, the value of Pressure potential is effectively zero. Subsequently making water potential equal to solute potential. As we know, Water potential = solute potential + pressure potential, but pressure potential is equal to zero. Hence,

${ \Psi }_{ w }={ \Psi }_{ s }$ .

So, the correct option is '

${ \Psi }_{ w }={ \Psi }_{ s }$ '.
