Question
Tracheids and vessels presentBoth in xylem and phloemOnly in xylemOnly in phloemSometimes in xylem and sometimes in phloem
Solution
Tracheids and vessels are present only in xylem. They are part of the xylem tissue and are responsible for the transport of water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant. Phloem, on the other hand, is composed of sieve tube elements and companion cells, and is responsible for the transport of food and other substances from the leaves to the rest of the plant.
