Water enters the plant through<em> several pathways</em>. If the <em>"Vacuolar Pathway" </em>will be followed, the water will enter the plant through the cell wall, going to the plasma membrane, then to the cytoplasm and then into the "vacuole." The cell wall functions to protect the plant's cell membrane/plasma membrane. The plasma membrane is <em>semipermeable</em> and<u> it allows materials to be transported in and out of the cell</u>. The cytoplasm consists of the plant cell's organelles. One of its organelles is the "vacuole," which is responsible for the plant's homeostasis.
Another name for folic acid is folacin and this is required for cells to produce a metabolite caled formate which is involved in the synthesis of nucleotides. The enzyme involved in its absorption/conversion is dihydrofolate synthetase and not folacin.
