What is the final destination of the water lifted by the root?
Think it through first, then pick an option.
- a Epidermis
- b Sieve tube
- c Endodermis
- d Mesophyll tissue
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: d Mesophyll tissue
Water climbs from the root through the conducting tissue of the stem to the mesophyll tissue of the leaf.
Why the other options are wrong
- a Epidermis: The epidermis is the outer covering; water does not end there.
- b Sieve tube: The sieve tube belongs to phloem and carries food, not the water's destination.
- c Endodermis: The endodermis is a layer midway along the route; water goes further.
