Question

What is the similarity between xylem of plants and arteries of humans?

• A. Both xylem and arteries are deep seated
• B. Both xylem and arteries carry vital fluids
• C. Both xylem and arteries are thin walled
• D. Choice A & B
• E. Choice A & C

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Choice A & B

Both xylem and arteries are deep seated and carry vital body fluids under severe pressure.

Xylems carry all the vital requirements from the surrounding soil to leaf and since these materails are carried under high pressure, they need protection from superficial injuries to the plants.

Arteries in humans carry oxygenated blood from heart to rest of body and are again carry blood under severe pressure and hence these arteries are deep seated as well.
