In a plant, ____ conducts water and nutrients absorbed from the soil.
phloem
xylem
parenchyma
collenchyma
sclerenchyma
Answer- Xylem
Explanation- Xylem is dead plant vascular tissue that has specialized water conducting cells known as tracheary elements. These tracheary elements are hollow, narrow and elongated that transports water from one tracheid to another trachied through pit membrane. This xylem transports water and minerals from roots to upward body parts of plant. As xylem is dead tissue it also provide physical support to plant.

Stoma d. Mesophyll e. Stipules 50. Insectivorous plants: a. typically grow in nutrient-rich soil enhance a poor supply of CO2 through capturing prey c. use modified leaves to trap their prey d....
QUESTION 1
Which of these statements is NOT correct?
A.
Endodermis requires energy to move nutrients into vascular
cylinder of roots.
B.
Energy is required to make soil nutrients available to
roots.
C.
Plants spend energy to maintain their symbiotic relationship
with soil microorganisms.
D.
Root cells do not spend energy to transfer nutrients from soil
because their movement is powered by transpiration when water
enters the roots.
E.
All of the above statements are correct.

Question 7 (1 point) Why are nutrient concentrations in the soil DIFFERENT from those in the water found in root xylem? root hairs cannot take in nutrients, only water the cortex cells transport nutrients and water toward vascular tissues sieve plates filter out nutrients during translocation the endodermis is selective and uses active transport to move nutrients
Q#:3,4,68,69,73,76,92 and 94
3) You plant a seed in a pot with soil, add water, and then place it in the sunlight in a closed chamber. Before the seedling emerges from the soil, carbon dioxide levels increase in the closed chamber. This indicates that is occurring. A) cellular respiration B) alcohol fermentation C) sucrose production D) fertilization E) photosynthesis directs water from the roots into the 4) The waxy barrier called the endodermis and then into the xylem. A) sieve...
1. Healthy soil (Links to an external site.) is vital to plant nutrients and to the health of humans. Good soil produces healthy plant life which results in a well-fed animal population. When soil gets polluted the entire food chain suffers; creating a huge number of problems. How does soil pollution affect plant growth? How, then, might the pollution affect humans either directly or indirectly? Research and provide 2 examples. 2. The 40 Fruit Tree. Plants have the impressive ability...
Water is transported upward in a plant through xylem tissue, which consists of cells of 1 mm length and a diameter of 250 µm. The xylem cells are attached to each other to form a channel. To what maximum height can water rise in these xylem channels due to capillarity?
Phloem and xylem always lie adjacent to each other in plants. Together, they form which of the following plant structures? Use letters in alphabetical order to select options A vascular bundle B epidermis C meristems D leaves Which phyllotaxes allow for leaves on a stem to lie flat without bending or breaking? Use letters in alphabetical order to select options A spiral and whorled B alternate and whorled C alternate and opposite D spiral and opposite Plant tissue that functions...
What cyclic path does water follow in a plant to enable phloem transport? Is it moving by diffusion, bulk flow, or both?
Water is transported upward in a plant through xylem tissue, which consists of cells of 1 mm length and a diameter of 290 µm. The xylem cells are attached to each other to form a channel. To what maximum height can water rise in these xylem channels due to capillarity? For those interested: Confirm this result with a simple experiment: Cut and split the stem of a flower with white petals (e.g., a dahlia or a carnation) and place one...
