Question

If a plant's leaves developed so that its vascular tissue only contained xylem, how would this affect the rest of the plant's physiological processes?

Answer 1

- The carbon dioxide required for photosynthesis would not be absorbed and transported to the leaf cells, and photosynthesis would stop.

Step-by-step explanation:

This should be correct, It was on my test

Answer 2

If a plant's leaves only contained the vascular tissue xylem, then it will not be possible for the plant to absorb carbon dioxide. As carbon dioxide is required for photosynthesis to occur, this means that the process of photosynthesis will not take place. As a result, the plant will not be able to produce food as photosynthesis is the process by which plants make food. This will result in the plant to die eventually in the end due to lack of food.
