Question

In the leaves, veins are useful for

• A. Transport of water and minerals
• B. Mechanical support
• C. Transport of organic nutrients
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above

Veins in leaves are made up of xylem and phloem. It is useful in providing mechanical support to the leaf. It also helps in transport of both water and minerals via xylem tissue and transport of organic nutrients via phloem tissue to the rest of the plant.

Thus, the correct answer is 'All of the above.'
