Group of answer choices The circulatory system is directly linked to gamete dispersal. There is no effect of environmental humidity on the movement of water and ions. The cells that transport water and ions are alive. Transpiration relies on evaporation and the cohesion and adhesion of water. There is a single system for the movement of water, ions and sugars.arrow_forward
