once the waters inside the root hair it decides to take two parts the apple plast pathway and the symplast pathway so the ample plastic movement the first kind of movement involves water to move along the intercellular spaces like this so the water does not need to cross the cell length and get inside the cell so now you may wonder how does the water move upwards the intercellular spaces a lot of different plant and water properties including the difference in water potential which we looked at earlier at play here we look at it shortly mode it is now coming to the other path the symplastic pathway the difference is it involves the water entering through the cell and moving from cell to cell like you can see here through a special channels called the flask mode they're smarter and plus will be smarter for those of you were for God are these microscopic channels which traverse cell walls round cells algal cells enabling a connection a transfer a communication happening between them and the suit elastic movement is going to be aided by cytoplasmic streaming so let me ask you a question which moment you think is going to be faster the one that runs through the outside of the cells other one that moves through the cell and thumbs up pretty obviously Apple plastic movement right because a plastic movement does not require water to cross the cell membrane then you may have a better question for me why bother about symplastic movement at all well the question is logically because if I have an option to go to a place by air or rail at the same price I'll choose aeroplane option right but before your dust off symplastic movement recall the anatomy of roots the kasparian strips that you see on the endodermis the cells that contain the suberin apart from lignin in the cell matrix does not allow the a plastic movement of water so there's no choice therefore once the water reaches the cortex by the upper-class pathway and as it reaches the barrier of the endodermis the symplastic movement reaches out to help me and to water to move it further inside to keep learning with such engaging videos download by juice the learning app today
