    • What is the main function of xylem in plants?
      Water and mineral transport
    • Xylem tracheids are elongated, tapered cells that also transport water and minerals, but have thicker cell walls
    • Match the xylem component with its function:
      Xylem Vessels ↔️ Upward transport of water and minerals
      Xylem Tracheids ↔️ Alternative transport pathway
      Xylem Parenchyma Cells ↔️ Structural support and storage
    • Xylem ensures that plants have the resources needed for photosynthesis and structural integrity.

      True
    • The structure of xylem allows continuous upward water flow in plants.

      True
    • What is the primary function of xylem parenchyma cells?
      Structural support and storage
    • Xylem vessels are hollow tubes that efficiently transport water and minerals
    • Xylem parenchyma cells offer structural support and storage
    • What is the primary function of phloem in plants?
      Sugar and nutrient transport
    • What type of substances does phloem transport from the leaves to other parts of the plant?
      Sugars and nutrients
    • Match the phloem component with its function:
      Sieve Tubes ↔️ Main transport pathway
      Companion Cells ↔️ Support and regulation

      True
    • The two-way transport system of xylem and phloem is crucial for the overall health and vitality
    • Xylem is crucial for photosynthesis and plant structure
    • Xylem transports water and minerals from the roots to the leaves.

      True
    • Water transport by xylem is crucial for photosynthesis and transpiration.
      True
    • Phloem is composed of sieve tubes and companion cells
    • Sieve tubes in phloem are connected by perforated sieve plates
