Understanding Plant Transport Systems

What is the primary function of the xylem in plants?

• To transport food from the leaves to other parts of the plant

• To transport water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves

• To store energy

• To support the plant structure

Which plant tissue is responsible for transporting food produced in the leaves to other parts of the plant?

• Xylem

• Phloem

• Stomata

• Epidermis

What is the main role of leaves in a plant?

What is the function of stomata in leaves?

• To transport water

• To exchange gases

• To store food

• To protect the plant

Which of the following best describes the function of phloem?

• It transports water from the roots to the leaves.

• It transports nutrients from the soil to the roots.

• It transports food from the leaves to other parts of the plant.

• It provides structural support to the plant.

What is the main reason why leaves are typically green?

• They contain chlorophyll, which is essential for photosynthesis.

• They are covered in a green waxy coating.

• They reflect green light from the sun.

• They absorb green light from the sun.
