Accepted Answer

Hello everyone and welcome to today's video. So today we have that given the following descriptions or statements, we need to identify the feature that correctly describes trade kids and vessel elements. So we're given certain statements here and we need to identify which ones are correct. Before we jump into this problem, let me quickly remind you of a very important facts regarding these trinkets and vessel elements and that it is that they are squaring chema tissue and this clarion kima tissue is non living. So now that we know this is quickly jump into the answer choices so that we can solve this problem beginning by answer choice X. Both are non living. So we already said that they're this type of tissue that they are non living. So we're going to not cancel it out because it's a correct answer choice or statement. Then we have statement why perforation plates are present in vessel elements but absent intricate. This is actually going to be a correct statement as well. This preparation plates allow the transport of water which is more seen in these vessel elements and trade kids do not have these perforation plates. So this statement is correct. Then we have statements. See both are highly efficient in water conduction. While we already established that these trade kids do not have the perforation plates necessary to transport water because of these trinkets are not going to be highly efficient. A water conduction. This is an incorrect statement. So since both X and why were correct statements we're going to highlight answer choice B as a final answer to our question. I really hope this video helped you, and I hope to see you on the next one.
