Question

Use the figure above to answer the following questions.
-The vascular bundles of dicots separate the ground tissue into two zones.Which of the following correctly describes the arrangement of these zones from outside to in?
A) outermost xylem >>> phloem >>> pith >>> cortex 
B) outermost phloem >>> xylem >>> pith >>> cortex 
C) outermost cortex >>> phloem >>> xylem >>> pith 
D) outermost pith >>> phloem >>> xylem >>> cortex 
E) outermost cortex >>> xylem >>> phloem >>> pith

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In dicots, the arrangement from outside to inside is cortex, phloem, xylem, and then pith. The cortex is the outermost layer, followed by the vascular bundles with phloem on the outside and xylem on the inside, and the pith is at the center.
