Question
Chapter 34.2, Problem 1SB
Summary Introduction
To review:
The differences between symplastic and apoplastic pathways of routing substances laterally in roots.
Introduction:
A plant takes up water molecules from the soil, which diffuses from the root hairs and move to the xylem vessels present in the trunk of the plant. The transport of water molecules from roots happens through specific pathways, namely, apoplast and symplast. They carry the water through a short distance.

Explain the mechanisms that regulate the ion xylem loading.
If the PIN2 gene is rendered non-functional by mutation it dramatically reduces the speed of the gravitropic response in the root. Explain what PIN proteins do and why the loss on PIN2 would likely affect the speed of the gravitropic response.
