Question:
Out of diffuse porous and ring porous woods, which is correct?
Out of diffuse porous and ring porous woods, which is correct?
Updated On: Jul 13, 2024
- ring porous wood, carries more water for short period
- diffuse porous wood carries more water
- ring porous wood carries more water when need is higher
- diffuse porous wood is less specialised but conducts water rapidly throughout
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Ring porous wood carries more water when need is higher. Ring porous wood provides better translocation when requirement of plant is more. Hence, it is very advanced than diffuse porous wood.

- Name the class of enzyme that usually catalyzes the following reaction: \[ S - G + S^{\prime} \rightarrow S + S^{\prime} - G \] Where \( G \) represents a group other than hydrogen, \( S \) is a substrate, and \( S^{\prime} \) is another substrate.
- Given below are two statements: Statement I: In the RNA world, RNA is considered the first genetic material evolved to carry out essential life processes. RNA acts as a genetic material and also as a catalyst for some important biochemical reactions in living systems. Being reactive, RNA is unstable.
Statement II: DNA evolved from RNA and is a more stable genetic material. Its double helical strands being complementary, resist changes by evolving repair mechanisms. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:- NEET (UG) - 2025
