Which of the following is NOT true about the cohesion-tension model of water transport?Select one:a. Water must completely fill
aksik [14]

Answer:

d. Water is transported in the phloem.

Explanation:

Xylem is the vascular tissue responsible for the movement of water and dissolved minerals from roots to various plant parts. Phloem is another vascular tissue that serves mainly in the translocation of sugars. The cohesion-tension model of water transport explains that the upward movement of water from roots to the aerial plant parts is drive by transpiration pull. Transpiration of water from leaves results in a large negative pressure in xylem elements. Cohesion and adhesion properties of water maintain the water column in xylem elements.

JulijaS [17]

The main aspect used to differ coniferous tree are their leaves. Coniferous leaves look like elongated needles, instead of the regular flatend out leaves we're used to

Further characteristics:

Seeds are hard and grow in large groups, stuck to eachother.

Coniferous are evergreen trees (don't shed leaves nor change the colour of these, although this rule does not apply to all of them).

They have spread worldwide.

Can withstand low temperaurees and can be found even in places like the Artic circle.

I've pasted some images down below that might help you a lot. (Left - leaves; Right - coniferous trees).

Hope it helped,

Happy homework/ study/ exam!
