|
It conducts material from root tips to leaves.
|
|
|
The conducting cells are part of the apoplast.
|
|
|
It transports mainly sugars and amino acids.
|
|
|
No energy input is required for transport.
|
Detailed explanation-1: -Here for the solution, answer is the statements that are incorrect about systems Are it conducts materials within dead cell, and another is it transport mainly sugars and amino acids.
Detailed explanation-2: -Regardless of the plant species, amino acids mainly move from xylem to phloem, while sugars move in both phloem-to-xylem and xylem-to-phloem directions (Table 1).
Detailed explanation-3: -Xylem is water conducting part. It has tracheids, vessels, xylem parenchyma and xylem fibres. Was this answer helpful?
Detailed explanation-4: -Xylem tissue transports water and dissolved minerals from roots to leaves, using some active transport, but mostly passive processes. Phloem tissue transports dissolved sugars up or down a plant, using active transport and osmosis.
