If part of the xylem of a young oak tree is destroyed, which of the following functions would it interfere with most?

a) conduction of water to the leaves

b) conduction of carbohydrates to the roots

c) absorption of carbon dioxide from air

A) conduction of water to the leaves

Explanation:

Xylem is a group of vascular tissues which support the plant. It conducts water and nutrients from the roots to the upper parts of the plant. A xylem system consists of tracheids, parenchyma cells, vessels and woody fibers. Xylem provides water to the leaves which aid in the process of photosynthesis, as water is an essential reactant of the process of photosynthesis.

step 1 ammonium can be absorbed by plants, but some is converted into nitrates which are better for plants to absorb. this is called nitrification. 2. step 2 the deer eats the plants and uses the nitrogen-containing proteins for cell growth. 3. step 3 bacteria in the soil conduct nitrogen fixation to convert nitrogen gas from the atmosphere into ammonium. 4. step 4 some of the nitrates are absorbed back into plants, but denitrification breaks down the nitrates into nitrogen gas released back into the atmosphere. 5. step 5 nitrogen is found in the urine, which gets broken down into ammonium through the process of ammonification. 6. step 6 plants absorb the ammonium and begin assimilation, the process to add the nitrogen to protein.

the answer is a) a shiprock was formed by igneous process
