Question
Which of the following describes the function of plasmodesmata in plant cells?
Correct Answer
Option C is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Plasmodesmata are minute channels that traverse the cell wall, connecting the cytoplasm of adjacent plant cells and lined by a continuation of the plasma membrane. They allow direct communication and transport of water, nutrients, and signalling molecules between neighbouring cells.
Hint
Think about cell-to-cell connections and what makes plant cells unique in this regard.
