Which of the following statements is incorrect? (A) Less than 1 per cent of the water reaching the leaves is used in photosynthesis (B) Most of the water flow in the roots occurs via the apoplast pathway (C) Suction through a straw is an example of positive hydrostatic pressure. (D) Turgor Pressure is responsible for enlargement and extension growth of cells.

Most of the water flow in the roots occurs via the apoplast since the cortical cells are loosely packed, and hence offer no resistance to water movement. Less than 1 per cent of the water reaching the leaves is used in photosynthesis and plant growth.
