Question 1
FThe Figure shows two types of transport tissue, P and Q, from the stem of a plant.
Figure
a.[2]
Identify which tissue, P or Q, is xylem.
Give a reason for your answer using the Figure.
b.[2]
Explain how lignin in the walls of xylem helps xylem to transport water.
c.[2]
Phloem is made of living cells.
Explain why living cells are needed for phloem to transport sucrose.
d.[1]
Name the process by which sucrose is transported around a plant.
