2. All vascular plants will incorporateA) spores rather than gametes as a means of perpetuating thespecies.B) conductive tissues near the stem surface exclusively.C) conductive tissues randomly scattered through the stem.D) xylem and phloem tissue in their composition(morphology

In vascular plants, xylem transports ______, whereas phloem transports ______.Multiple choice question.gametes and pollen; water, sugars, and mineralswater and minerals; sugarssugars; water and mineralswater and gametes; sugars and pollen

Which is not a characteristic of a plant's vascular tissue?A.It transports egg and sperm cells for reproduction.B.It supports the plant's stems and leaves.C.It positions the plant's leaves closer to the sun.D.It transports water and food inside the plant.

The development of vascular tissue in plants is an adaptation to larger size in plants and life on land. Which of the following BEST describes the specialized cells of vascular tissue and their functions?Select one:a.Dermal - absorb water and gases from the soil and air; cortex - develops a central core to support the plantb.Xylem - cells that are empty except for the water and soluble minerals they transport; phloem - ground tissue that stores food made during photosynthesisc.Xylem - thick-walled cells that conduct water and soluble minerals from roots to stems and leaves; phloem - cells with modified organelles that conduct sugars and other nutrients throughout the plantd.Root hairs - projections of root cells that increase the surface area of roots; phloem - cells that expand and contract to respond to sunlight

Question 7 of 10Phloem tissue consists of tube-shaped cells that have small holes at each end. What does this structure enable phloem tissue to do?A.Allow oxygen and carbon dioxide to enter and leave the plantB.Share genetic material among all the cells of the plantC.Act like sieves, letting only some materials pass throughD.Trap any microorganisms that are invading the plantSUBMITarrow_backPREVIOUS

In the vascular bundle of a dicot stemthe xylem is located on the outside and is closest to the epidermis.the phloem is composed of dead, lignified cells.phloem sieve tube cells are controlled by ‘companion’ cells.xylem cells transport water from the leaves to the roots.
