O Levels Biology (5090)•5090/11/M/J/18
Question 11 from 5090/11/M/J/18

Explanation

Identifying tissue G in vascular bundle

Steps:

  • Vascular bundles in stems contain xylem and phloem for transport.
  • Xylem conducts water and minerals upward from roots to leaves.
  • Phloem transports sugars and nutrients from leaves to roots or growing areas.
  • Without the photograph, tissue G cannot be specifically identified as xylem or phloem.

Why D is correct:

  • Not enough information to confirm; D incorrectly states xylem's role, as xylem transports water, not sugars.

Why the others are wrong:

  • A: Phloem transports sugars bidirectionally, not exclusively to roots.
  • B: Phloem does not transport water; that's xylem's function.
  • C: Xylem does transport water to leaves, but G's identity is unconfirmed.

Final answer: Not enough information.
