In plants, water is transported through Correct Answer xylem

The correct answer is xylem.

Key Points

Xylem

  • It is a type of tissue in vascular plants that transports water and some nutrients from the roots to the leaves.
  • The tissue consists of a variety of specialized, water-conducting cells known as tracheary elements.

Phloem

  • It is the complex tissue that acts as a transport system for soluble organic compounds within vascular plants.
  • It transports the food made in leaves to other parts of plants.
  • It is made up of living tissue, which uses turgor pressure and energy in the form of ATP to actively transport sugars to the plant organs.

Root hairs

  • These are cylindrical extensions of root epidermal cells.
  • The primary function is to collect water and mineral nutrients from the soil. It takes the solution up by the roots to the rest of the plant.

 Epiblema

  • Epidermis with root hairs is called epiblema.
  • It is composed of one layer of compactly arranged parenchymatous cells.
  • It is usually located between the epidermis and cortex in the root or stem of a plant.
  • The root hairs and thin-walled epiblema cells absorb water and minerals salts from the soil.

Sentences of a paragraph are given below in jumbled order. Arrange the sentences in the right order to form a meaningful and coherent paragraph.   A. These kinds of sharks are known as obligate ram ventilators because they draw water in through their mouths and force it out through their gills. B. They use a method called buccal pumping, in which water is pulled in through the mouth and forced out through the gills by the cheek muscles. C. It is true that many types of sharks must keep moving in order to receive life-giving oxygen from the water passing through their gills. D. Other types of sharks are able to remain stationary because they possess special structures called spiracles, which force water out through their gills.
Bottled water is drinking water (e.g., well water, distilled water, mineral water, or spring water) packaged in PET Bottle or Glass Water Bottles. Bottled water is comprehensively regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a packaged food product. By law, the FDA regulations for bottled water must be at least as stringent as the Environmental Protection Agency standards for tap water. What inference can be drawn from the above passage?

Consider the following statements in connection with soil-water-crop relationship: 1. Water utilization by plants is mainly from capillary water. 2. The amount of irrigation water required to meet the evapotranspiration needs of the crop during its full growth duration is its consumptive irrigation requirement. 3. The depth of water required to bring the soil-moisture level of a given soil up to its field capacity is called hygroscopic water. 4. With continuous increase in quantity of water applied, the yield of most crops increases up to a certain limit and then is expected to be constant. Which of the above statements are correct?
The intake pipes of nuclear plants and water plants along Great lakes are clogged by a certain variety of mussels that proved to be causing nuisance to the working systems. But it is found that the bags of these calms when suspended in the effluent streams of chemical plants, not only improves quality of water significantly but also remove some hazardous wastes from effluents just by feeding voraciously on the algae that they filter from water that passes by it. Which one of the inferences given below, if true, is most strongly supported on the basis of information given in the above paragraph?
