Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option B: Symplast
Concept:

Plant cells are physically and chemically connected to allow efficient intracellular transport.

Formula:

None

Solution:

  • Plasmodesmata are tiny, membrane-lined channels that traverse plant cell walls.


  • They connect the cytoplasm of adjacent cells into one continuous network.


  • Water moving through this living, cytoplasmic continuum utilizes the symplast pathway.


Why other options are incorrect:

  • Apoplast: Travels outside the cell membrane (through cell walls).

Quality & Fidelity Assurance: Every question on BeambePrep is rigorously curated against the official PMDC syllabus with zero filler, zero out-of-syllabus content, and zero typos. When an authentic past paper originally contained a historical mistake or ambiguity from the examining board (such as UHS or NUMS), BeambePrep faithfully reflects the original paper while detailing the nuance and scientific consensus in the autopsy above.
