Question
Chapter 39.4, Problem 2CC
Summary Introduction
To predict: The structural features of the vessel elements that explain the vulnerability of vessels to embolism by blockage by air bubbles.
Introduction: The vessel components are a part of xylem tissue that helps in the conduction of water and minerals through various parts of the plant body. These are exclusive feature of the vascular plants especially
