Question

What type of water-conducting cells has perforation plates on their ends?  
A) Tracheids
B) Vessel elements
C) Sieve elements
D) Companion cells
E) Sieve tubes

Accepted Answer

Vessel elements have perforation plates on their ends, allowing for efficient water transport through their interconnected tubes. Tracheids also conduct water, but do not have perforation plates. Sieve elements and companion cells are part of the phloem system and transport sugars, not water. Sieve tubes are another name for sieve elements.
