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.
