Why may leaves wilt if xylem is blocked in a plant?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because water and minerals will not reach the leaves

The governing concept is xylem transport and cell turgidity. Xylem vessels carry water and dissolved mineral ions upward from roots to stems and leaves. Leaf cells need water to maintain turgor pressure, support photosynthesis and prevent excessive loss of firmness. If xylem is blocked, the water supply falls, cells lose turgidity and leaves may droop or wilt. Hence option A is correct; the other choices refer to animal organs or unrelated substances.
