Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sugars are conducted through plant tissues by the phloem, which is a specialized tissue in plants responsible for transporting sugars, amino acids, and other organic nutrients from the leaves to the rest of the plant. The xylem, on the other hand, transports water and minerals from the roots to the leaves. The epidermis is the outermost layer of cells in plants that provides protection and regulates gas exchange, while trichomes are specialized structures found on the surface of plants that play a variety of roles including protection against herbivores and UV radiation. The procambium is a meristematic tissue that gives rise to the vascular tissues (xylem and phloem) in young plants.
