Question

Which of the following organ and function is not correctly matched?

• A. Small intestine - Nutrients are absorbed into the blood from here
• B. Phloem - Transpiration through this element creates a suction pull
• C. Kidneys - Filter urea and other toxic materials from the blood
• D. Xylem - Conducts water to all parts of the plant body

Answer 1

The correct option is B Phloem - Transpiration through this element creates a suction pull

The xylem transports water to all parts of the plant body absorbed by the roots. Some of this water evaporates through the stomata present on the surface of leaves by a process called transpiration. The evaporation of water from the leaves generates a suction pull in the xylem element. This pull helps in the movement water to great heights in tall trees.
