Chapter 23, Problem 2MCQ
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Plant consists of complex conducting tissues for the transportation of water and nutrients internally from part of the plant to the other parts. These conducting tissues are known as vascular tissues. There are two components of vascular tissue: xylem and phloem.

When comparing vessel elements with sieve tube elements, only vessel elements.
Select one:
a. are stacked end to end.
b. None of the choices.
c. are present in all plant organs.
d. transport substances through the plant.
e. are not living.
Which of the following cell types remain alive in matureplant tissue?a. sclerenchyma c. tracheidsb. sieve elements d. vessel elements
Water movement through the xylem needs less pressure than movement through living cells.
A. Agree, because water moves in xylem through diffusion.
B. Disagree, because water needs turgor pressure in order to diffuse.
D. Disagree, beacuse both need equal pressure for materials to pass through xylem and living cells like sievetubes.
C. Agree, because water is non-living while photosynthates are living and must pass through living cells that require pressure.
