Water enters endodermal cells by _____ directly across the lipid and through integral membrane proteins called ____.
A) osmosis; aquaporins
B) countertransport; exchangers
C) osmosis; ATP pumps
D) active transport; ATP pumps
E) carrier-mediated transport; cotransporters

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Water enters endodermal cells primarily through osmosis, a process driven by the concentration gradient of water across the cell membrane. Aquaporins are integral membrane proteins that facilitate the rapid transport of water molecules across cell membranes, making them crucial for efficient water uptake.
