Xylem | MCQs

Explanation

• Translocation is the process by which sugars and other organic compounds produced in the leaves (by photosynthesis) are transported to other parts of the plant.
• Such as roots, stems, and fruits, through the phloem tissue.

Explanation

• In plants, water and minerals are transported from the roots to the leaves through the xylem.
• A type of vascular tissue.

Explanation

Explanation

Lumen refers to the empty space inside dead cells of xylem vessels, which are arranged vertically and form the vascular tissue in plants.

The lumen provides a pathway for water and mineral transport from roots to leaves.

Explanation

• Xylem is the vascular tissue responsible for transporting water and minerals from the roots to the leaves through continuous tubes.
• It also known as xylem vessels or tracheary elements.

Explanation

• Leaves contain thin veins that transport minerals and water from the roots to the rest of the plant.
• As well as glucose and other organic compounds produced by photosynthesis.
