Which of the Following Describes the Transmembrane Route for Transport

Question

Which of the following describes the transmembrane route for transport within plant tissue?
A) water and solutes move out of one cell, across the cell wall, and into the neighboring cell
B) water and solutes move out of one cell, through the plasmodesmata, and into the neighboring cell
C) water moves out of one cell, across the cell wall, and into the neighboring cell
D) solutes move out of one cell, across the plasmodesmata, and into the neighboring cell

Accepted Answer

The transmembrane route involves water and solutes moving across cell membranes and cell walls from one cell to the next, rather than directly through connections like plasmodesmata.
