Question
Chapter 16, Problem 5MCQ
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Vascular tissues are the specialized tube-like structures that transport water, minerals, and sugars throughout the plant body. Two types of vascular tissues are present in the plant, one is xylem that conducts water and minerals, and the other is phloem that conducts sugars throughout the plants.
