Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Plants contain xylem and phloem tissue. What organ system in animals performs a similar function as the xylem and phloem of plants?
A
digestive system
B
excretory system
C
respiratory system
D
circulatory system
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -circulatory system. The function of xylem and phloem tissues of a plant is similar to the digestive system of an animal. The plant tissues are mainly responsible for the absorption and distribution of nutrients or water from the roots up to the leaves.

Detailed explanation-2: -The vascular system has two parts. Xylem transports water and minerals up, and phloem transports sugar down and to all the cells of the plant. How are the circulatory system in animals and the vascular system in plants similar to each other? Both systems transport food and water to cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -In animals it is the digestive system that can be likened to photosynthesis, and the reproductive system that performs the reproductive functions.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.

Detailed explanation-5: -In animals, the heart pumps the blood throughout the body, carrying oxygen and nutrients. In plants, transpiration moves water through xylem and phloem, carrying with it nutrients and minerals. The circulatory system of both plants and animals also allows for the removal of waste products.
