1.) D- phloem is Bi-directional and can flow upward or downward 

2.) C- it transports the water from the roots to the stems and leaves

3.) A- capillary action is the ability of a liquid to flow in narrow spaces without the assistance of, or even in opposition to, external forces like gravity, so it can flow upward through the tissue

4.) B- It conducts the sugar and other metabolic materials downward from the leaves

5.) A- The roots have a type of cell called a root hair cell - these project out from the root into the soil. The water absorbed by the root hair cells passes through the plant in xylem tubes, and eventually reaches the leaves.

6.) A- It transports  water from roots to shoot and leaves, but it also transports some nutrients. It is Uni-directional though and can only flow upward.

Hope this helps! Good luck

Further Explanation


Phenomenon tissue transports photosynthesis (consisting of carbohydrates) to all parts of the plant. The cells that makeup phloem tissue consist of living cells and dead cells.


The function of Floem is to transport photosynthesis from leaves to all parts of the plant.


Capillarity is a symptom of fluid rise or fall in a capillary tube or small pipe. Interaction with molecules in liquid molecules.


phloem tissue in plants has a function to facilitate and transport food substances as a result of photosynthesis in other parts located underneath. The floor is composed of a network that is very complex and consists of various cell forms.


Xylem at the root functions to be taken mineral water taken from the soil to the parts to the stems and leaves of plants.


Transport network (tissue of blood vessels) is one of three permanent tissue groups associated with vascular green plants (Tracheophyta). This network is also called the ship and main transportation as the main transportation of nutrients needed in vital plant processes.


There are two groups of transportation networks, based on nutrient flow direction. Wood vessels (xylem) transport fluid to the leaves. The source can be from the root (main) or from other parts of the plant. The filtering vessels (phloem) transport photosynthesis (specifically sucrose sugar) and other substances from the leaves to other parts of the plant's body. Both wooden ships and filter ships have several rather different cell types.
