Plasmodesmata
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Plasmodesmata are channels through adjoining plant cell walls that connect neighboring cells' cytoplasm, letting materials pass directly between them.
Show
Water and nutrients absorbed by a root can move cell to cell through plasmodesmata on their way to the leaves.
Watch for
Plasmodesmata cross both the wall and the membrane — a wall alone would otherwise keep neighboring cells apart.
