Question

Look at experiment shown in Fig. 4.16. Why was it necessary to take coloured eosin solution in water in the beaker?

Solution

Answer
It is important to take coloured eosin solution in water in the beaker to prove that the upward conduction of water takes place through xylem. This colour is observable in the transverse (horizontal) section when observed under microscope.
