Xylem transports ​ (a)   and minerals from the ​ (b)   to the leaves. The mass flow of xylem contents occurs against ​ (c)   . Xylem's lumen is ​ (d)   which reduces the resistance for the mass flow significantly. Unlike many other cells in plants, the xylem wall is made of ​ (e)   which is waterproof and strong.

The CORRECT statement to compare between xylem and phloem is ...

• in leaf, xylem located closer to the upper surface, while phloem closer to the lower surface

• all cells forming xylem are alive, while in phloem are dead

• in root, xylem located closer to the outer part, while phloem is in the center

• transport in phloem happen in one-way, while in xylem is two-ways

Compared to collenchyma, sclerenchyma ...

• have thicker cell wall

• is younger

• consists of more cells

• have bigger portion of cytoplasm
