An investigator studies the feeding mechanisms of two different herbivorous insect species that target the vascular tissues of a herbaceous plant stem:
Which of the following correctly identifies the primary cell types targeted by Species X and Species Y, and the main solute transported by the tissue targeted by Species X?
Target of Species X: xylem vessels; Target of Species Y: sieve tube elements; Main solute: sucrose
Target of Species X: sieve tube elements; Target of Species Y: xylem vessels; Main solute: sucrose
Target of Species X: sieve tube elements; Target of Species Y: companion cells; Main solute: amino acids
Target of Species X: companion cells; Target of Species Y: xylem vessels; Main solute: glucose
