What is phototropism in plants?

• The growth response of plants to water

• The growth response of plants to light

• The growth response of plants to gravity

• The growth response of plants to touch

Which plant tissue is responsible for transporting water and minerals from roots to other parts of the plant?

• Phloem

• Epidermis

• Xylem

• Cambium

What is the primary function of phloem in plants?

• To transport oxygen throughout the plant

• To provide structural support

Which type of tropism describes a plant's response to gravity?

• Thigmotropism

• Phototropism

• Geotropism

• Hydrotropism

In the xylem tissue, water moves upward through the plant primarily due to:

• Active transport requiring ATP

• Capillary action and transpiration pull

• Gravity pushing water upward

• Pressure from root growth
