Mass flow or bulk flow system is the movement of substances in bulk or in masse from one point to another point as a result of

(1) Pressure Difference between two points

(2) Osmotic gradient between two points

(3) Concentration gradient between two points

(4) Cannot be predicted

Apoplast movement

Find the wrong one.

(1) Dependent on gradient

(2) Water movement is through mass flow

(3) The continuous stream of water gets tension when water is absorbed by root hairs

(4) Mass flow of water occurs due to adhesive and cohesive properties of water

Symplastic system

Find the wrong one.

(1) System of interconnected protoplasts

(2) Involves path through plasmodesmata

Symplastic movement is slower than apoplastic movement

(1) Because it involves cytoplasmic streaming always

(2) Molecule has to enter through the cell membrane

(3) Because it is down the gradient
