Assertion : Long distance flow of photoassimilates in plants occurs through sieve tubes.

Reason : Mature sieve tubes have parietal cytoplasm and perforated sieve plates.

The plant undergoes wilting when

Assertion: In angiosperms the conduction of water is more efficient because their xylem has vessels.

Reason: Conduction of water by vessel elements is an active process with energy supplied by xylem parenchyma rich in mitochondria
