Which one of the following structures between two adjacent cells is an effective transport pathway?
- Correct answerAPlasmodesmata
- BPlastoquinones
- CEndoplasmic reticulum
- DPlasmalemma
Solution
The primary cell wall contains many small openings or pores situated in the primary pit fields. The cytoplasm of adjacent cells communicates through the pores by means of cytoplasmic bridges called plasmodesmata. The plasmodesmata permit circulations of fluid and passage of solutes between cells.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
