Question

The principle pathways by which water is translocated in angiosperm is

• A. Xylem and phloem together
• B. Sieve tubes and membrane of phloem
• C. Sieve cells of phloem
• D. Xylem vessel system

Answer 1

The correct option is D Xylem vessel system

Xylem vessels have a wide lumen and major water-transporting tissue in plants. These are nonliving and transport of water and minerals is a physical process, not a physiological process. Salts and water are transported through xylem tissue system in vascular plants. These are composed of vessels, tracheids, parenchyma, and fibers.

So, the correct answer is option D.
