Which one of the following structures between two adjacent cells is an effective transport pathway?

  1. Endoplasmic reticulum
  2. Plasmodesmata
  3. Plasmalemma
  4. Plastoquinones

Answer

(2) Plasmodesmata

Solution

As per NCERT, the cell walls and middle lamellae of adjacent plant cells are traversed by plasmodesmata, which connect the cytoplasm of neighbouring cells.

Through these cytoplasmic strands substances move from cell to cell (symplastic pathway).

∴ Plasmodesmata are an effective transport pathway between two adjacent cells.

Answer: (2)
