Answer:

False

Explanation:

It is the stratosphere layer of earth that protect us from harmful UV radiation. Basically ozone gas protects earth from UV radiation and nearly 90% of the ozone in atmosphere is found in the stratosphere at an altitude of 16 and 48 kilometers above the Earth's surface.

Ozone is found in a concentrated form in stratosphere only. This ozone has a tendency to absorb ultraviolet light from the Sun and protect the earth from the harmful effects of UV radiation.

Thus, it can be said that it is the stratosphere and not the troposphere that protects the Earth from UV radiation coming from the Sun

What are the advantages of having perforated walls among the vessel elements?
Brilliant_brown [7]

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.
