Question
Chapter 5.5, Problem 1BC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The ways by which plasmodesmata plays an important role in the movement of nutrients through a plant root.
Introduction:
The cells of the multicellular organism, including plant and animals, work together by adhering to one another. These cells are in direct contact with each other, which aids their communication in coordinating development.

Students have asked these similar questions
i. Based on Figure 2, identify the structure that regulates the movement of water and minerals towards the xylem in the root.
ii. Name structure of the cell membrane allows it to act as a selective barrier?
iii. Predict what will happen to the transportation of water and minerals through the plasma membrane if the root was poisoned and no cellular respiration occurred.
