Answer 1

The correct statement about the xylem and phloem in plants is:

The xylem transports water and minerals while the phloem transports glucose and nutrients.

The xylem is responsible for the upward movement of water and dissolved minerals from the roots to other parts of the plant, while the phloem transports the products of photosynthesis, mainly glucose, from the leaves to other parts of the plant where it is needed for growth and energy.
