What is incorrect regarding apoplast transport in plants?
1. The apoplast is formed by the continuum of cell walls of adjacent cells as well as the extracellular spaces.
2. Transport velocity is lower in the apoplast than in the symplast.
3. Apoplast transport also accounts for a higher proportion of water transport in plant tissues than does symplastic transport.
4. The apoplastic pathway is also involved in passive exclusion.

The Casparian strip in plant roots:
1. is located in the walls of the outermost portion of the cortex.
2. is composed predominantly of lignin and hence is impermeable to water.
3. ensures active uptake of all minerals by the roots.
4. ensures that all water and dissolved substances must pass through a cell membrane before entering the vascular cylinder.

Assertion: Short distance lateral transport from root hair to vascular cylinder via symplast route requires repeated crossings of plasma membranes as the solutes exit one cell and enter the next.
Reason: The symplast pathway consists of cell walls and extracellular spaces.

Assertion: Water and minerals cannot cross the endodermis and enter the vascular cylinder via the apoplast.
Reason: Casparian strip is the barrier located in transverse and radial walls of each endodermal cell and is made of lignin.

Consider the following events occurring during mass flow [pressure flow] of phloem sap at the source. The initial events are given in correct chronological sequence. But some of the statements carry mistakes regarding the principles of the process. Identify them:
I. The sucrose is passively transported to the companion cells of the smallest veins in the leaves.
II. The sucrose is actively transported from the companion cells to the sieve tube elements.
III. Water moves by osmosis from the nearby xylem in the same leaf vein.
IV. Hydrostatic pressure moves the sucrose and other substances through the sieve tube cells, towards a sink.
1. I and II only
2. III and IV only
3. I, II and III only
4. I, II, III and IV
