Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Vascular plants transport nutrients through tube-like structures known as ____ and non-vascular plants transport nutrients from ____
A
cell to cell, xylem and phloem
B
seeds, cell to cell
C
xylem and phloem, cell to cell
D
xylem and phloem, seeds
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The two primary vascular tissues are xylem, which transports water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the leaves, and phloem, which conducts food from the leaves to all parts of the plant.

Detailed explanation-2: -Xylem transports and stores water and water-soluble nutrients in vascular plants. Phloem is responsible for transporting sugars, proteins, and other organic molecules in plants. Vascular plants are able to grow higher than other plants due to the rigidity of xylem cells, which support the plant.

Detailed explanation-3: -Plants have two transport systems-xylem and phloem . Xylem transports water and minerals. Phloem transports sugars and amino acids dissolved in water.

Detailed explanation-4: -The vascular system is comprised of two main types of tissue: the xylem and the phloem. The xylem distributes water and dissolved minerals upward through the plant, from the roots to the leaves. The phloem carries food downward from the leaves to the roots.

Detailed explanation-5: -Phloem: In the case of plants, the synthesized food is stored by various storage organs which include-stems, fruits, roots, etc. The vascular tissue, phloem helps in the transportation of the synthesized food from the leaves to various storage organs.
