Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The vascular tissue (xylem and phloem) of plants is MOST similar in function to what structures in the human body?
A
veins, arteries, and capillaries
B
bone cells of the skeletal system
C
cardiac muscle of the heart
D
outer layer of skin tissue
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Vascular bundles contain xylem and phloem, analogous to the blood vessels in humans, which distribute materials throughout the plant.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -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-4: -Well, the human circulatory system acts as a transport system to distribute water gasses nutrients to all the cells of the body, and the plant vascular system transport water and nutrients to the plant cells. So this circulatory system is similar to the plant’s vascular tissue system.

Detailed explanation-5: -The plant’s vascular tissues are similar to the veins and arteries in anima bodies in that they are both systems of tubes that transport blood and other substances throughout the plant.
