What does xylem transport?

• Water and minerals

• Water only

• Sugar

• Food

Water and minerals move in which direction within the plant

• Upward

• Down

What does phloem transport?

• Water

• Minerals

• Fruit

• Sugar

The plant tissue that carries food materials DOWNWARD from the leaves to the rest of the pant is the ______.

• Phloem
• Stomata
• Chlorophyll
• Xylem

Vascular tissue that transports water and minerals UPWARDS from a plant's roots is know as ______.

• Chlorophyll
• Phloem
• Stomata
• Xylem

Plant absorbs water through the _________. 

• stem
• roots 
• leaves 
• all of the above

How do water enter the roots from the soil?

• diffusion
• osmosis
• transpiration
• active transport

Transpiration is

• the loss of water from the leaves of a plant by the process of evaporation
• the flow of water into plant roots by osmosis from the soil
• the process of minerals and sugars moving through plant veins
