Question

question 2 of 10 select three events that occur as an unspecialized cell differentiates into a cell that helps transport water in plants. a. the cell widens. b. the cell wall thickens. c. the cell undergoes mitotic cell division. d. holes form in the cell wall.

Explanation:

When an unspecialized plant cell differentiates into a water - transporting cell (such as a xylem vessel element), the cell widens to form a larger lumen for water flow. The cell wall thickens for structural support. Holes (pits or perforations) form in the cell wall to allow for unobstructed water movement between cells. Mitotic cell division is not a part of the differentiation process for these specialized water - transporting cells in plants as they are often non - living at maturity and do not divide further.

Answer:

A. The cell widens, B. The cell wall thickens, D. Holes form in the cell wall
