Sieve tubes are better suited for translocation, because
(a) Possess a broader lumen and perforted cross walls
(b) Are broader than longer
(c) Possess bordered pits
(d) Possess no end walls

A

bordered pits

B

no ends walls

C

broader lumen and perforated cross walls

D

no protoplasm

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c
Sieve tubes function as the food conduvting elements of phloem which are elongated tubular chennels formed by end to end union of numerous cells . Seives tubes have broader lumen , thin walls. Septa present between sieve tube cells are called sieve plates, they possess a number of perforations called sieve pores or sieve pits.

Torricelli was the first do devise an experiment for measuring atmospheric pressure . He took calibrated hard glass tube , 1 m in lengt and of uniform cross section , closed at one end . He filled the whole tube with dry mercury taking care than no air or water droplets remain inside the tube , closed the opposite end of the tube tightly with thumb and inverted it . He put this inverted mercury tube into a mercury through , taking care that the end of the tube remains inside the mercury through , An interesting thing was noticed . Mercury in the tube fell down at first and then stopped at a particular position . The height was 76 cm above the free surface of mercury in the through . When the given tube was inclined or lowered in the mercury trough , the vertical haight of mercury level in the tube was always found constant . Torricelli explained this by saying that the free surface of mercury in the trough . Hence , the hydrostatic pressure exerted by the trough measures the atmospheric pressure . If this expriment uses water instead of mercury , then A. length of water will be equal to 76 cm B. length of water will be less than 76 cm C. length of water will be greater than 76 cm D. none of the above
