    A) symplast

    B)                        protoplast          

    C)        chloroplast         

    D)        imbibitions

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Every living cell in higher plants is connected to its living neighbours by the fine cytoplasmic channels called as plasmodesmata. Plasmodesmata maintain a continuum of living components of cells called symplast and of non-living components is called apoplast. Protoplast is the living portion of plant cell which consists of a unit of protoplasm covered by a plasmalemma, ie, the plant cell without cell wall is known as protoplast. Chloroplast is the photosynthetic centre of plant cells. It contains a pigment called chlorophyll which absorbs light energy and synthesise starch. Imbibition is the absorption of water by the solid particles of an adsorbent without forming a solution.
