Question
Chapter 23.2, Problem 1MC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The components of xylem sap.
Concept introduction:
Plant can transport water and nutrients within the individual cells, from cell to cell and transport it within xylem and phloem. The watery contents of xylem and phloem vessels are called sap. Xylem sap transport water and dissolved minerals from roots to leaves. Phloem sap transport organic nutrients to all parts of the plants.
