AP BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Arteries, veins, capillaries, xylem vessels, and phloem tubes are all tubes used for transporting substances in mammals and flowering plants.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plants have two transport systems-xylem and phloem . Xylem transports water and minerals. Phloem transports sugars and amino acids dissolved in water.

Detailed explanation-3: -The water and minerals are transported in plants by two types of conducting tissues: Xylem. Phloem.

Detailed explanation-4: -Xylem and Phloem tissues are present throughout the plant. They begin at the root and then move up to the stem, branches, and leaves. The xylem tissue transports water and minerals from the roots to the leaves whereas the phloem tissue transports food from the leaves to the other parts of the plant.

Detailed explanation-5: -In a flowering plant, water, mineral salts, organic substances like sugars, plant growth regulators and amino acids need to be transported to the location where they are required. The vascular system extends from the roots through the stem and continues up to the leaves.
