Biology

Answer:

A. The plant would wilt.

Explanation:

In order to stay healthy and fresh, plants like every other living organism require certain substances. One of those substances is WATER, which the plant gets by absorption via the root hairs. The water circulates throughout the plant with the aid of a water-conducting vascular tissue called XYLEM. Without the xylem, water will not be transported throughout the plant.

The xylem tissue helps provide structural support to the plant as it helps the plant cell to be turgid. A non-functional xylem means the conduction of water is impossible, hence causing the plant cells to become flaccid and lose strength; a process called wiltering.

Question 3
LenKa [72]

Answer:

B is the correct answer.

A is incorrect because respiration is always occuring in animals and plants, therefore it means it does not require the presence of light. Photosynthesis does produce ATP, though.

Not C because photosynthesis does not occur in animals

Not D because they both are  different processes. They don't really depend on each other, though they could occur at the same time.
