Question

can you answer these

Through which vascular tissue do water and nutrients get transported to reach the leaves during transpiration?
cuticle
parenchyma
xylem
phloem

This diagram illustrates the three types of plant tissue.

A diagram illustrates the 3 types of plant tissue. Small purple structures inside of the leaves, stem, and roots are shown.

Which is the primary function of the plant tissue shown in purple?
protect from injury
transport water and nutrients
produce food
supply strength and support

Through which tissue do sugars get transported to reach the leaves during growth and reproduction?
collenchyma
parenchyma
xylem
phloem

When a plant grows as mediated by growth hormones, which main plant organs are at work?
meristem and roots
stems and leaves
roots and stem
leaves and roots

Which best matches the plant tissue to its function?
Vascular tissue transports materials from the environment into the plant.
Dermal tissue produces and stores the plant’s food until it is needed.
Meristem tissue uses energy from the sun to produce food for the plant.
Ground tissue is the outermost plant tissue that prevents water loss.

Answer 1

1) xylem
- Xylem transports water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the leaves (transpiration stream).

2) produce food
- The internal (ground) tissue (parenchyma) in leaves carries out photosynthesis and produces food.

3) phloem
- Phloem moves sugars (and other organic compounds) through the plant (transport can be source→sink, so flow direction can change).

4) roots and stem
- Primary growth occurs at apical meristems in the root and shoot (stem), so roots and stem are the main organs involved.

5) None of the four statements are correct. Correct matches:
- Vascular tissue: transports water, minerals, and sugars within the plant.
- Dermal tissue: outer protective layer that helps prevent water loss.
- Meristem tissue: regions of actively dividing cells responsible for growth.
- Ground tissue: photosynthesis, storage, and support.
