To solve this problem, we need to identify which statement is not observed during the apoplastic pathway. Let's analyze each option:$\newline \bullet$Option 1: Movement of water occurs through intercellular spaces and wall of the cells.$\newline$ - In the apoplastic pathway, water moves through the cell walls and intercellular spaces without entering the cytoplasm.$\newline$ - This statement is true for the apoplastic pathway.$\newline \bullet$Option 2: The movement does not involve crossing of cell membrane.$\newline$ - The apoplastic pathway involves movement outside the plasma membrane, so it does not cross the cell membrane.$\newline$ - This statement is true for the apoplastic pathway.$\newline \bullet$Option 3: The movement is aided by cytoplasmic streaming.$\newline$ - Cytoplasmic streaming is a process that occurs within the cytoplasm and is not involved in the apoplastic pathway.$\newline$ - This statement is not true for the apoplastic pathway.$\newline \bullet$Option 4: Apoplast is continuous and does not provide any barrier to water movement.$\newline$ - The apoplast is generally continuous, except at the Casparian strip in roots, which acts as a barrier.$\newline$ - However, in general, the apoplast is considered continuous for water movement.$\newline$Therefore, the statement that is not observed during the apoplastic pathway is:$\newline$Option 3: The movement is aided by cytoplasmic streaming.$\newline$This corresponds to the correct option, which is Option 3.
