Question
Statement-I: Vessels and tracheids of the roots, stems and leaves are interconnected to form a continuous system of water-conducting channels in the plants. Statement-II : The transport of soluble products of photosynthesis is called transpiration and it occurs in the phloem tissue.Consider the given statements and select the correct option.Only one correct answerA.Only statement-II is correctB.Only statement-I is correctC.Both the statements are incorrectD.Both the statements are correct
Solution
The correct answer is B. Only statement-I is correct.
Explanation: Statement-I is correct. Vessels and tracheids of the roots, stems, and leaves are indeed interconnected to form a continuous system of water-conducting channels in plants. This is part of the xylem tissue's function in plants.
Statement-II is incorrect. The transport of soluble products of photosynthesis is called translocation, not transpiration. Transpiration is the process of water movement through a plant and its evaporation from aerial parts, such as leaves, stems and flowers. Translocation occurs in the phloem tissue.

1What is transpiration in plants?The absorption of water by the root hair cellsThe absorption of water through the leavesThe movement of water through a plant due to evaporation from the leavesThe movement of water through the phloem cells2Which substances enter and leave the plant through the stomata?Oxygen enters; carbon dioxide and water leaveCarbon dioxide and water enter; oxygen leavesWater and oxygen enter; carbon dioxide leavesCarbon dioxide enters; water and oxygen leaves3Which cells control the opening and closing of the stomata?Palisade cellsPhloem cellsGuard cellsXylem cells4What happens to the rate of transpiration when the temperature is increased?It stays the sameIt increasesIt decreasesIt stops altogether5Why does the rate of transpiration decrease in very humid conditions?Because there will be more water inside the leaf than in the air Because the rate of photosynthesis increasesBecause the rate of photosynthesis decreasesBecause there will be less water inside the leaf than in the air6Why are stomata normally found on the underside of leaves?So that they are shaded from the sunSo that they are nearer the ground So that they are protected from rainTo allow water to escape from the leaves by gravity
