Out of diffuse porous and ring porous woods, which is correct?
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 condic is water rapidly through out
In dicots, large sized vessels are arranged in two ways- ring porous (large sized vessels in early wood, e.g. Quercus) and diffuse porous (large sized vessels distributed throughout, e.g. Azadirachta).
Ring porous vessels are more efficient and advanced as they provide quicker translocation when water requirement is maximum. Hence, the correct answer is option 1.
