O Levels Biology (5090)•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.
