Which structure or compartment is part of the symplast? A. the interior of a vessel element B. the interior of a sieve tube C. the cell wall of a mesophyll cell D. an extracellular air space



Answer :

Option B “the interior of a sieve tube” is part of the symplast. Also known as a protoplast, symplast is the intercellular connection or region in the plasma membrane which serves as a bridge between plant cells.

Small intercellular connections are called microscopic channels. These are living spaces that are found between cells and cell membranes.

A symplast is composed of compassion cells, axial parenchyma,  sieve tubes, ray parenchyma, plasmodesmata, and the cambium.

To put it simply, it is the internal part of the plasma membrane within a plant where the transport of water vapors and other small-sized molecules such as amino acids, ions, and sugars takes place spontaneously.
