Question 13

An agricultural scientist is investigating the transport of substances in a newly developed crop. They are analysing how water, minerals, and manufactured sugars are partitioned and moved throughout the plant.

Compare and contrast how substances are transported in the xylem and phloem vessels of a plant.

In your answer, you should refer to:

  • the specific substances carried by each tissue
  • the cellular structure of the vessels and how they relate to their function
  • the physical forces or biological processes that drive the transport of these substances
