Question 3.

Xylem vessel is adapted to transport the water from soil to the leaves. Xylem vessel is a long continues tube with lignified wall. Water from the root is pushed by root pressure into the xylem vessel. An experiment is carried out by a group of student to study the effect of root pressure on the water transport in the plant. Two healthy potted balsam plants are used. The shoot is cut off, leaving 5 cm of main stem above the soil. Rubber tubing is fit to the cut end and a glass tube is inserted to it. The apparatus is clamped to a retort stand as shown in

The other plant is prepared as above but all the roots are removed. 2 ml of coloured water is added to the capillary tube and the initial level of water is marked.
