This diagram illustrates an idealized cross-section of an endodermal cell with a Casparian strip (thick backline) in the radial walls and a single plasmodesma in each of the tangential walls. Adjacent cortical cells are to the left, and adjacent cells of the vascular cylinder are to the right. The endodermal cells are living and have a plasma membrane (not illustrated). The solid arrows illustrate the symplastic movement of water and ions and the dashed arrow illustrates the path of water and solvent moving through the apoplast. Symplastic. flow Apoplastic flow CORTEX →+ ENDODERMIS →E VASCULAR CYLINDER Explain the functional significance of the pathway illustrated by the dashed arrow.
