A student examines two plant tissues.
The table shows the observations.
Table
| Tissue | Observation |
|---|---|
| P | Dead cells with hollow centres and lignified walls |
| Q | Living cells associated with the transport of sucrose |
Which statement correctly identifies the tissues and their functions?
P is phloem carrying water; Q is xylem carrying sucrose.
P is xylem carrying sucrose; Q is phloem carrying water.
P is xylem carrying water; Q is phloem carrying sucrose.
P is phloem carrying sucrose; Q is xylem carrying water.
