Question
QUėstion 24 is based on the following passage.
A plant stem's two main functions are to support
the leaves and to transport materials between
roots and leaves. As a stem develops, it
possesses three types of permanent tissues:
surface tissue, ground tissue, and vascular
tissue. The surface and ground tissues support
and give structure to the plant. The vascular
tissues are the transport systems of the plant.
The vascular tissues usually exist in one of three
patterns and are known as the phloem and
xylem.
Both the xylem and phloem are made up of
several different types of cells that make up
transport tubes for needed nutrients. In general,
xylem nutrients (sap) travel from the roots to the
rest of the plant. Phloem sap is derived from
photosynthesizing leaves and from there is
carried throughout the plant.
24. What would we be able to study by
Hg injecting a nutrient dye into the root of a
plant?
A. phloem sap transport
B. all vascular tissues
C. xylem sap transport
D. pith and cortex cells
E. total plant photosynthesis
