- Most plants transport sucrose over long distances through the xylem. True or Falsearrow_forwardQUėstion 24 is based on the following passage. A plant stem's two main functions are to support the leaves and to transport materials between roots and leaves. As a stem develops, it possesses three types of permanent tissues: surface tissue, ground tissue, and vascular tissue. The surface and ground tissues support and give structure to the plant. The vascular tissues are the transport systems of the plant. The vascular tissues usually exist in one of three patterns and are known as the phloem and xylem. Both the xylem and phloem are made up of several different types of cells that make up transport tubes for needed nutrients. In general, xylem nutrients (sap) travel from the roots to the rest of the plant. Phloem sap is derived from photosynthesizing leaves and from there is carried throughout the plant. 24. What would we be able to study by Hg injecting a nutrient dye into the root of a plant? A. phloem sap transport B. all vascular tissues C. xylem sap transport D. pith and cortex…arrow_forwardWhich of the follow correctly describe the function of a seed? Question 31 options: Contains the plant embryo and a tissue such as endosperm to provide nutrition for early plant growth. Grows from the ovary of a flowering plants and surrounds the seed. Provide protection and/or attracts animals to aid in seed dispersal. The reproductive structure of the angiosperms. The reproductive structure of the gymnosperms. Carries the microgametophyte and sperm cells during sexual reproduction in angiosperms.arrow_forward
- Please be very very fast Which of the following is NOT a function or characteristic of stems of plants? Question 1 options: transporting sugars and water between the roots and the leaves. Exhibiting a negative phototropism. Supporting leaves. Exhibiting a positive phototropism.arrow_forwardIf the shoot apical meristem gets broken off due to bad weather or damage, what type of tree growth you expect to observe in the immediate future? The tree would grow wider instead of taller. The tree would not show any growth but would stay healthy and alive. The tree roots would grow deeper within the soil, but no growth would occur above ground. The tree would grow taller instead of wider. The tree growth would be uneven in many different directions.arrow_forwardWhich of the following describes the vascular system of a typical plant? it is made up of xylem and phloem O it does all of the above LA it transports water throughout the plant O it transports nutrients throughout the plant O it provides support 101 4 R % 5 T 10 6 17 Y & 7 hp f8 8 K44 9 O Oarrow_forward
