Fill in the blanks. The ____ transports water from the roots to the leaves of a plant and the ____ transports glucose from the leaf to other parts of the plant.
A
1 = Xylem; 2 = Phloem
B
1 = Vascular Bundle; 2 = Stem
C
1 = Phloem; 2 = Xylem
D
1 = Stem; 2 = Bundle Sheath
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Water and solutes are transported by the xylem from the roots to the leaves, and food is transported from the leaves to the rest of the plant by the phloem.

Detailed explanation-2: -Xylem transports water in plants. Water is absorbed from the soil through root hair cells. Water moves by osmosis from root cell to root cell until it reaches the xylem. It is transported through the xylem vessels up the stem to the leaves.

Detailed explanation-3: -Final answer: Phloem transports food from the leaf to other parts of the plant.

Detailed explanation-4: -Plants have two transport systems-xylem and phloem . Xylem transports water and minerals. Phloem transports sugars and amino acids dissolved in water.
