Question

Which group possesses vessels in its xylem

• A. Pteridophytes
• B. Angiosperms
• C. Gymnosperms
• D. Both B and C

Answer 1

The correct option is B Angiosperms

Vessel members are the principal water-conducting cells in angiosperms (though most species also have tracheids) and are characterized by areas that lack both primary and secondary cell walls, known as perforations. Water flows relatively unimpeded from vessel to vessel through these perforations, though fractures and disruptions from air bubbles are also more likely.

So, the correct answer is 'Angiosperms.'
