Long Distance Transport of Water

Question

Suberised cell walls are seen in:

Easy

A

Endodermis
B

Pericycle
C

Sieve tubes
D

Root hairs

Solution

The inner boundary of the cortex, the endodermis, is impervious to water because of a band of suberised matrix called the casparian strip. Water molecules are unable to penetrate the layer, so they are directed to wall regions that are not suberised, into the cells proper through the membranes.
