Students have asked these similar questions
Which of the following forces make the movement of water through the xylem possible? *
A. Cohesion and adhesion
B. Transpiration
C. Root pressure
D. A and B
E. A, B, and C
If the xylem is under high tension, how will the flow rate in the xylem will be affected?
Water movement through the xylem needs less pressure than movement through living cells.
A. Agree, because water moves in xylem through diffusion.
B. Disagree, because water needs turgor pressure in order to diffuse.
D. Disagree, beacuse both need equal pressure for materials to pass through xylem and living cells like sievetubes.
C. Agree, because water is non-living while photosynthates are living and must pass through living cells that require pressure.

- Determine the collective true-false status of the statements using the choices below. I. Xylem consists of cells called sieve elements and their associated companion cells.; II. Both sieve elements and the associated companion cells are alive in mature tissue.; III. Companion cells are a type of collenchyma.; IV. A companion cell provides each sieve element with metabolic support and transfers sugars into it. Only two (2) statements are true. None of the statements is true. All statements are true. Only one (1) statement is true. Only three (3) statements are true.arrow_forwardThe first formed primary xylemelements are called ___________.A. MetaxylemB. ProtoxylemC. Xylem fibresD. Xylemp arenchymaarrow_forwardWhen absorption of water by the roots fails to keep up with the rate of transpiration, gain in turgor occurs, and the stomata close. A. Agree, because the transpiration occurs faster than root absorption. D. Disagree, because the condition should be when root absorption is able to keep up with transpiration, then stomates close. B. Disagree, because under this condition, the turgor pressure decreases and the stomates close. C. Agree, because increase in turgor pressure under this condition, closes the stomates.arrow_forward
