Question 1 Report

The large intercellular air spaces which penetrate the tissues of most hyrophytes provide a pathway through
which
Answer Details
The large intercellular air spaces in most hydrophytes (water plants) provide a pathway for gases to move through the plant. This allows for oxygen produced in the leaves to reach the submerged parts of the plant, and for carbon dioxide absorbed by the leaves to diffuse to the roots. However, these air spaces do not play a role in the transport of salts, plant hormones, or manufactured food.
