The rocks near the mid-ocean ridge were younger then rock near trenches. Matching bands of magnetic rocks were found on either side of the mid-ocean ridge; bands like tree ring - record changes in earths magnetic field over time. Earthquake data showed oceanic crust is sinking on to the mantle at trenches.

Answer: The evidences of seas floor spreading are as follows-

The sea floor spreading is taking place because of the constant plate tectonic movement.
The plates moves in opposite direction along the mid oceanic ridge, where new materials are added forming a new young crust.
The rocks that are found near the mid oceanic ridge are younger than the rocks that are found away from the mid oceanic ridge.
The alternating magnetic strips studied on the particles, observed on both the sides of the mid oceanic ridge are identical.

Water and dissolved minerals located in the cell walls and intercellular spaces of the root cortex are in the ___________ (sympl

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

1. Apoplastic

2. Symplastic

3. Symplastic

4. Apoplastic

Explanation:

The interconnected porous cell walls of plant cells make apoplast along which water is allowed to move freely. Symplast refers to the path made up of interconnected cytoplasm of many plant cells connected by plasmodesmata. Therefore, water and dissolved minerals enter the root cortex from the epidermis in the solution can move through symplast and apoplast till endodermis.

Water and dissolved minerals present in the cytoplasm of cortical cells move from one cell to next via plasmodesmata (the symplast) while the ones present in their cell walls and intercellular space move through apoplast. The presence of casparian strips in the endodermal cell wall does not allow the movement of water and minerals through the apoplast.
