Q. The function of a vessel is conduction of

A) Food
B) Water and minerals
C) Hormones
D) All of these
Explanation

Vessels are long, tubular having lignified cell wall and are components of xylem tissue. The cross wall (end wall) at both the ends of vessels, dissolves and form a pipe-like channel. They functions in ascent of sap in angiosperms. Conduction of food materials occurs through the sieve tubes, which are cellulosic, thin-walled and are component of phloem tissues.
