Answer:

It allows rapid conduction of water from one vessel element to the next.

Explanation:

Vessels are one of the two types of conducting cells of xylem. Vessels are made of vessel elements. Vessel elements are the individual cells with perforation plates. The perforation plates have large holes (perforations). Perforation plates of adjacent vessel elements allow easier conduction of water from one vessel element to the next.

The perforated end walls of vessel elements allow these conducting cells to conduct water more readily than tracheids. Stacking of vessel elements with perforated end walls make the vessel like a water pipe through which water is being readily conducted.

Carbon and hydrogen have similar electronegativities and combine together to form hydrocarbon molecules. What type of bonds form

egoroff_w [7]

The type of bond formed between carbon and hydrogen is NON POLAR COVALENT BOND.
Covalent bond involves sharing of atoms between two elements; each element will donate electrons which will be equally shared by the elements involved. In the case of carbon and hydrogen, carbon has four electrons in its outermost shell, therefore it will form a covalent bond with four atoms of hydrogen each of which will donate one electron.
