MEDAL TO THE BEST ANSWER If the xylem in a young tree is damaged, which process is first affected?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Performing photosynthesis Absorbing water from the soil Transporting sugar to the roots Transporting water to the leaves

sorry idk :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's ok

From wiki i'd say D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Since xylem moves water up from the roots, I would think that transpiration and movement of water into the stem and leaves would be affected first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If all the xylem and phloem were not destroyed parts of the plant may survive but others would die, but eventually the whole plant would die because of lack of nutrients. If the xylem and phloem were all destroyed when the plant would die as it would receive no water or nutrients it needs.

Your welcome, glad to help :)

Photosynthesis is done by chlorophyll absorbing water = roots transport to leaves = xylem transport suger to roots = phloem So summer is right :D
