The plant undergoes wilting when
xylem is blocked
cambium is blocked
phloem is blocked
some roots are reduced in number
A.
xylem is blocked
Wilting The condition that arises in plants when more water is lost by evaporation than is absorbed from the soil. This causes the cells to lose their turgor and the plant structure droops. Plants can normally recover from wilting if water is added to the soil, but permanent wilting and possible death can result if the plant does not have access to water for a long period of time. In certain plants wilting is important as a mechanism to avoid overheating: when the leaves droop they are taken out of direct contact with the sun's rays. When the sun sets the plant can begin to transpire at the normal rate and the cells of the leaves regain their turgor.
Xylem is responsible for transport of water. If xylem is blocked, plant will undergo wilting
Assertion: In angiosperms the conduction of water is more efficient because their xylem has vessels.
Reason: Conduction of water by vessel elements is an active process with energy supplied by xylem parenchyma rich in mitochondria
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
If assertion is true but reason is false
If both assertion and reason are false.
Assertion : Long distance flow of photoassimilates in plants occurs through sieve tubes.
Reason : Mature sieve tubes have parietal cytoplasm and perforated sieve plates.
