Question
ICSEENIBI12028470

Mention one significant difference between each of the following:                                            

Symplastic movement and apoplastic movement.

Solution

Symplastic movement Apoplastic movement 

Water enters living cells either in the area of root hair cells or endodermis, there is some resistance to movement of water. The movement requires ATP. 

Consists of non-living parts, i.e. cell walls and intercellular spaces, the water does not enter the living cells. ATP is not required for the movement.
