NEET2001BotanyTransport in PlantsActual

Assertion : A plant girdled upto bast will die. Reason : Food transportation in such plant will cease followed by ceasation of water transport.

Options

  1. AIf both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explantion of Assertion
  2. BIf both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion
  3. CIf Assertion is true but Reason is false
  4. DIf Assertion is false but Reason is true.

Correct answer

A. If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explantion of Assertion

Step-by-step solution

A plant girdled upto bast will show below the girdled part, the non transportation of the food which occurs through phloem (bast). Water transport from roots to other plant parts via xylem will continue till root cells do not die due to starvation.
