Question

The transport system in plants is made up of
A. Xylem
B. Vascular tissues
C. Phloem
D. None of the above

Answer 1

The plant vascular system is a complicated network of conducting tissues that interconnects all organs and transports water, minerals, nutrients, organic compounds, and various signaling molecules throughout the plant body.

Step by step answer: Xylem tissue is the part of vascular plants that transports water and nutrients from the soil to roots, stems, and leaves and it also provides mechanical support and storage. Water transport is the main function of xylem which is one of the major distinguishing features of vascular plants.
-The three primary parts of the plant's vascular system are the xylem, phloem, and cambium. It is the main transport system for plants. They typically occur together in vascular bundles in all plant organs, traversing roots, stems, and leaves. Xylem is responsible for the transport of water and dissolved ions from the roots upwards through the plant.
-Phloem is the vascular tissue in charge of transport and distribution of the organic nutrients. It is generally composed of three cell types: sieve elements, parenchyma, and sclerenchyma.
Hence, the correct answer is Option A

Note: There are some non-vascular plants that lack the xylem and phloem particular tissues, many plants possess simpler tissues that have specialized functions for the internal transport of water. Examples of non-vascular plants are bryophytes (mosses), liverworts, hornworts, and algae like green algae.
