Out of diffuse-porous and ring-porous woods, which is correct?

Correct answer: C. Ring porous wood carries more water when need is higher

  • A. Ring porous wood carries more water for short period
  • B. Diffuse porous wood carries more water
  • C. Ring porous wood carries more water when need is higher
  • D. Diffuse porous wood is less specialised but conducts water rapidly throughout

Explanation

Ring-porous wood carries more water when the need is higher. Ring porous wood provides better translocation when the requirement of the plant is greater. Hence, it is more advanced than diffuse-porous wood.

About Growth and Development

Embryonic development covers fertilization, cleavage, formation of the blastula and gastrula, germ layers, organ formation and differentiation. Regeneration describes the replacement of lost tissues or body parts, whereas ageing involves gradual cellular and physiological changes linked to reduced repair, altered metabolism and declining organ function.
