Question

question 35 which of the following best describes vascular tissue? a transports food, water, hormones and minerals throughout the plant b comprises the majority of the primary plant body c provides a protective covering for the plant

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Vascular tissue in plants (xylem and phloem) is responsible for transporting food (phloem), water and minerals (xylem), and also hormones throughout the plant. This matches the function of vascular tissue.
• Option B: The majority of the primary plant body is made up of ground tissue, not vascular tissue. So this is incorrect.
• Option C: The protective covering for the plant is the dermal tissue (like the epidermis), not vascular tissue. So this is incorrect.

Answer:

A. Transports food, water, hormones and minerals throughout the plant
